Organised crime, corruption, and terrorism are considered to pose
significant and unrelenting threats to the integrity, security, and
stability of contemporary societies. Alongside traditional criminal
enforcement responses, strategies focused on following the money
trail of such crimes have become increasingly prevalent. These
strategies include anti-money laundering measures to prevent 'dirty
money' from infiltrating the legitimate economy, proceeds of crime
powers to target the accumulated assets derived from crime, and
counter-terrorist financing measures to prevent 'clean' money from
being used for terrorist purposes. This collection brings together
17 emerging researchers in the fields of anti-money laundering,
proceeds of crime, counter-terrorist financing and corruption to
offer critical analyses of contemporary anti-assets strategies and
state responses to a range of financial crimes. The chapters focus
on innovative anti-financial crime measures and assemblages of
governance that have become a feature of late modernity and on the
ways in which individual nation states have responded to anti-money
laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements in light of
their specific social, political, and economic contexts. This
collection draws on perspectives from law, criminology, sociology,
politics, and other disciplines. It adopts a much-needed
international approach, focusing not only on expected
jurisdictions, such as the United States and United Kingdom, but
also on analysis from countries such as Qatar, Kuwait, Iran, and
Nigeria. The authors stand out for their fresh and original
research, which places them at the cutting edge of the subject.
This book provides a comprehensive, insightful, and original study
of an important and developing field for academics, students,
practitioners, and policymakers in multiple jurisdictions.
