The federal government has created more than 400 new crimes since
2008, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service (CRS).
In a June report to the House Over-Criminalization Task Force, the
CRS identified 439 new criminal offenses to the U.S. Code between 2008
and 2013.
A 2008 analysis by the law scholar John S. Baker for the Heritage
Foundation found that, between 2000 and 2007, the government added 452
crimes to the books, indicating the government has increased the rate at
which it created new crimes.
The 2008 report identified “at least 4,450 federal crimes.” Adding in
the CRS report tally, there are now 4,889 federal crimes on the books. --Free Beacon quoted at HotAir
