Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) have received increased attention in
light of international corruption scandals, high-profile leaks
about extensive tax abuse schemes, and the continued fight against
terrorism financing and organized crime. Reducing IFFs is now a key
target of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, renewing debates
about both how to operationally define IFF and the methodologies
that are used to estimate their extent. This book addresses these
key issues, by investigating and schematizing the concept of
illicit financial flows and critically evaluating the current
models used to estimate them. It book proposes an original
flow-network approach through which to produce longitudinal and
country-specific estimates of IFFs and the gross value added
related to transnational trafficking. It advocates for a
reformulation of the current definition of IFFs to one that is more
specific and operational, allowing scholars and policy-makers to
better clarify the relationship between IFFs, the sources of
capital and the channels that are used to move capital abroad. This
brief will be an indispensable guide for students of criminology
and organized crime, and for the researchers and practitioners
working to understand and combat these crimes.
