Sabotage Prevention Act

The Sabotage Prevention Act is a criminal statute concerned with the deliberate destruction, damage, or impairment of property used in preparing for the national defense. It begins by fixing the definitions and general provisions that set the terms and scope on which the rest of the act operates, and it establishes protections for property devoted to defense preparation. Its central mechanism is the offense of sabotage itself, which makes intentional interference with such property punishable as a crime.
