Nixon proposes first complete overhaul of federal criminal code
President Nixon sent to Congress a plan for a sweeping reform of federal crime laws dating to 1790. The proposed Criminal Reform Act of 1973 tightens obscenity standards, revamps the insanity defense, and imposes mandatory penalties for certain offenses including heroin and marijuana trafficking with stiff fines. The plan introduces a nine‑grade offense system and sets higher fines for corporate violators to ensure penalties deter all offenders.
