This contemporary Research Agenda examines the threats to stability
and sustainability presented by economically motivated crime and
misconduct. Featuring contributions from distinguished experts in
the field of criminal law and justice, this book proposes avenues
for future research into the legal frameworks designed to prevent
and manage economic crime and corruption. Barry Rider begins by
considering the importance of discouraging economically relevant
criminals from undermining the efficacy and stability of global
economies. Chapters analyse a myriad of topics, including the
economic crime-related repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic, the
development of small state financial centres, and the key measures
adopted by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to combat
corruption. The book concludes by examining comparative
perspectives in fighting organised crime, featuring case studies
involving human trafficking and issues of compliance. A Research
Agenda for Economic Crime and Development will be an essential
resource for scholars and academics studying criminal law and
justice, economic crime and corruption, and law and development. It
will also be beneficial to criminal and regulatory lawyers,
policymakers, and researchers interested in the prevention of
economic crime.
In this timely Research Agenda, Barry Rider has assembled a cast of
internationally renowned experts to identify the most pressing
questions and issues around financial crime, helping to inform our
understanding of how best to protect our economies and financial
institutions. The book begins by considering what is meant by the
term financial crime, addressing how and to whom it causes harm,
the ways in which we might evaluate its incidence and impact, and
the increasing relevance of measures designed to disrupt
economically motivated criminals. Chapters explore the various
factors that have led to the rise of financial crime in recent
decades, from advances in technology to the practical issues in
effective prevention and interdiction. Bringing together an array
of perspectives from experts in law, criminology, and regulation
and compliance, the book ultimately advances multiple agendas for
future research to enhance our understanding of financial crime and
better promote its prevention, containment, and management. This
incisive Research Agenda will be an invaluable resource for
scholars of law, criminology, management studies, and compliance
and risk. Its practical insights will also benefit criminal and
regulatory lawyers, as well as legislators and researchers involved
in the protection of their economies and financial institutions
against financial crime.
Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This insightful
Research Agenda explores the varied manifestations of organised
crime, both on the street and through transnational enterprises,
and reveals its impact on the integrity of the financial system.
Leading academics identify measures which would disrupt and
discourage these threats, however sophisticated, and consider
avenues for future research. Taking an interdisciplinary approach
to the multi-faceted dangers posed by organised crime, the book
begins with an overview of the misconceptions surrounding the
topic, evaluating the limitations of the traditional justice system
in addressing corruption and conspiracy. Progressive chapters
illustrate a practical knowledge of addressing such threats,
identifying new directions for the study of concepts such as
organised crime and power, as well as tackling the ways in which
enterprises use money laundering to clean their proceeds. They also
point to ways in which the law will need to develop to address the
opportunities for cyber-enabled crime facilitated by recent
technological developments. An engaging platform for future
scholarship, this topical Research Agenda will prove a
thought-provoking read for academics and policymakers in the areas
of criminal justice law, criminology, corruption, and economic
crime.
The Research Handbook on International Financial Crime brings
together a strong group of contributors under the editorship of
Professor Barry Rider. Reflecting the success of the long-standing
Cambridge International Symposium on Economic Crime, the Handbook
covers a wide range of subjects over some sixty chapters. It will
make a valuable contribution to the practical as well as the
theoretical aspects of this important subject.' - Sir William
Blair, Justice of the Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court,
President of the Board of Appeal of the European Supervisory
Authorities'Monumental and magisterial are fitting descriptions for
this book. The editor and contributors provide extensive knowledge
and authoritative insight into the ever-burgeoning field of
financial and economic crimes. With in-depth coverage on a national
and international scale of topics such as fraud, financial and
market governance, corruption, money laundering, and civil and
criminal processes, this book delivers a compendious guide for
scholars, policymakers and practitioners everywhere, as well as an
unrelenting warning about embedded societal risks of insecurity and
instability.' - Clive Walker, School of Law, University of Leeds,
UK A significant proportion of serious crime is economically
motivated. Almost all financial crimes will be either motivated by
greed, or the desire to cover up misconduct. This Handbook
addresses financial crimes such as fraud, corruption and money
laundering, and highlights both the risks presented by these
crimes, as well as their impact on the economy. The contributors
cover the practical issues on the topic on a transnational level,
both in terms of the crimes and the steps taken to control them.
They place an emphasis on the prevention, disruption and control of
financial crime. They discuss, in eight parts, the nature and
characteristics of economic and financial crime, The enterprise of
crime, business crime, the financial sector at risk, fraud,
corruption, The proceeds of financial and economic crime, and
enforcement and control. Academics interested in criminology, law,
as well as business and legal studies students will find this book
to be an invaluable resource. Practitioners, including lawyers,
compliance and risk managements, law enforcement officers, and
policy makers will also find the points raised to be of use.

Market abuse and insider dealing remains and always has been a real
concern for all those that operate in the financial sector. Some of
the earliest laws relating to trade outlaw attempts to artificially
interfere with the proper functions of the markets and ensure
fairness. With recent changes to both the UK and European regimes
the line between what is normal (and sensible) business practice
and what may now be classified as market abuse is becoming
increasingly fine. This raises questions about communications
between financial institutions and investors, and about corporate
and analyst access. Market Abuse and Insider Dealing provides
guidance on and explanation of the range of potential legal and
regulatory responses to this complex area of law. Providing a
thorough analysis and assessment of the law relating to market
abuse and insider dealing, the new fourth edition includes: -
analysis of the impact of Brexit - significant new case law and
legislation including MiFID II; Money Laundering Regulations 2017;
the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds
(Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017; Criminal Finances Act
2017 with Unexplained Wealth Orders; The Fifth Money Laundering
Directive - the new Corporate Governance Code - new content on:
control and senior managers' responsibility/liability; the FCAs
competition law jurisdiction where it is appropriate to do so in
relation to market abuse; a new table of UK decided market abuse
cases
