COMMENT: Section 1.16 supersedes former Guam PC § 27 and is based upon M.P.C. § 1.03 with a modification

(Subsection (f)) suggested by the New Jersey Criminal Law Revision Commission. It is not expected that Guam would have as many problems with interstate crime as are found in the forty-eight contiguous states. However, with the ease of air travel between the islands, between Guam and the mainland and between Guam and Asia, it is believed that comprehensive legislation providing for criminal jurisdiction is desirable and may help to deter certain types of organized activity. Guam PC § 497 has not been expressly included within this Section. This Section punishes the bringing of property into Guam which has been stolen as if that property was stolen, or received as stolen, within Guam. The Guam Law Revision Commission felt that Guam has adequate extradition proceedings to cope with such a problem, if and when it arises.
