Adopting a multi-disciplinary and comparative approach, this book focuses on the emerging and innovative aspects of attempts to target the accumulated assets of those engaged in criminal and terrorist activity, organized crime and corruption. It examines the 'follow-the-money' approach and explores the nature of criminal, civil and regulatory responses used to attack the financial assets of those engaged in financial crime in order to deter and disrupt future criminal activity as well as terrorism networks. With contributions from leading international academics and practitioners in the fields of law, economics, financial management, criminology, sociology and political science, the book explores law and practice in countries with significant problems and experiences, revealing new insights into these dilemmas. It also discusses the impact of the 'follow-the-money' approach on human rights while also assessing effectiveness. The book will appeal to academics and researchers of financial crime, organized crime and terrorism as well as practitioners in the police, prosecution, financial and taxation agencies, policy-makers and lawyers.

Industry Reviews

'Following the money that funds terror and motivates organised crime is not a new strategy. However, much of what has been done has not had significant results - at least measured in traditional law enforcement terms. We need to learn from those systems that have better disrupted the criminal pipeline and increasingly think of new strategies and devices. This excellent book, edited by two leading scholars in criminal justice, provides in its treasury of experience if not all the answers, certainly some. Anyone concerned with taking the profit out of crime or pursuing terrorists more effectively will not be disappointed.' Barry Rider, University of Cambridge, UK '... le parfait manuel de droit compare pour [...] mieux comprendre l'approche 'follow-the-money' ... L'ouvrage Dirty Assets est sans aucun doute l'un des plus riches et des plus interessants parus en la matiere ces dernieres annees.' ['... the perfect comparative law handbook [...] to understand the "follow-the-money" approach ... Dirty Assets is without a doubt one of the most valuable and interesting books published on this topic within the last years.'] Revue de droit penal et de criminologie
