The book represents the latest wave of proceeds of crime scholarship. It contains consideration of a fascinating range of approaches, jurisdictions and subject markets, by an eclectically drawn and dynamic range of scholars. It is a reminder of how little we know, and that a healthy scepticism must always be entertained. It is recommended reading for all interested in the field. - Peter Alldridge, Drapers' Professor of Law, Queen Mary University of London. Governments love to trumpet new 'innovative' strategies to target money laundering, terrorism, corruption and criminal property. But do they work and do their benefits outweigh their costs, including human costs? Confronting questions like these from unique and critical perspectives, this timely collection of essays by emerging and learned scholars is a welcome addition to the literature. - Simon N. M. Young, Professor and Associate Dean (Research), Faculty of Law, The University of Hong Kong; Barrister, Parkside Chambers

Young, Professor and Associate Dean (Research), Faculty of Law, The University of Hong Kong; Barrister, Parkside Chambers `The book provides critical inquiries mainly from distinctive criminal and international law perspectives yet at the same time offers insights which would complement other social science approaches on the current state of the policies and laws (law in books) and human or institutional factors, impacting law in action... It is a unique contribution to the AML/CTF literature, providing excellent and detailed inquiries into distinctive legal, political and policy considerations by fresh analyses and insights. It is a must-read for scholars and students of law and other social sciences. It is also an excellent reference point for professionals, commentators, policy-makers and law enforcement agencies.' Umut Turksen, Amicus Curiae, Series 2, Vol 1, No 3, 547-53
