Full Description
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.
