The Palgrave Handbook of Criminal and Terrorism Financing Law – eBook

The Palgrave Handbook of Criminal and Terrorism Financing Law (PDF) focuses on how criminal and terrorist assets pose significant and unrelenting threats to contemporary societies’ integrity, security, and stability. In response to the funds generated by or for organised crime and transnational terrorism, strategies have been elaborated at regional, national, and international levels for laws, organisations and procedures, and economic systems. Reflecting on these strands, this handbook brings together leading experts from different jurisdictions across America, Europe, Africa, and Asia and from different disciplines, including law, international studies, criminology, political science, and business. The authors examine the institutional and legal responses, set within the context of both practice and policy, with a view to critiquing these actions on the grounds of effective delivery and compliance with legality and rights. In addition, the PDF ebook draws upon the experiences of the many senior practitioners and policy-makers who participated in the research project which was funded by a major Arts and Humanities Research Council grant. This comprehensive collection is a must-read for academics and practitioners alike with an interest in money laundering, security, terrorism financing, and international relations.

Reviews

“Reviewing this ebook from a practitioner perspective, it does focus on areas of law, response, policy, and responsibility … I find this ebook to be an all-embracing one on the subject of Criminal and Financial Law that is, a ‘must-have and read’ for all involved in this subject of enquiry.” — David M.J. Graves, Policing, August 11, 2018

“Money is the motive for organized crime and the essential ingredient for terror. Yet our efforts to “follow the money” have proven inadequate. In this impressive collection of essays, diverse experts explore distinct but interlocking aspects of our efforts to combat financial crime. The result is a valuable study of CFT/AML and a collective argument that it is time to shift the paradigm fundamentally”. — John Cassara, former U.S. intelligence officer, Treasury Special Agent, and AML/CFT author

“The shift of emphasis in fighting serious crime and addressing the threats of terrorism from the investigation and prosecution of substantive offenses, to pursuing wealth associated with things we don’t like, has created a new dimension to the criminal justice system. The focus is on interdicting and disrupting the flow of funds within criminal and subversive structures and placing obligations on those who mind other people’s wealth to generate intelligence. Three eminent scholars – Professors Walker, King, and Gurulé have assembled a galaxy of experts in this ‘biblical work’ on almost every conceivable aspect of what is one of the most dynamic and – if you handle wealth, highly significant concerns. A unique and astounding feat of intellect and perception!” — Barry Rider OBE LLD, Professorial Fellow, Centre of Development Studies, University of Cambridge, UK
