This book focuses on the financial crime policies adopted by the international community and how these have been implemented in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Nicholas Ryder also considers the appropriateness of confiscation and forfeiture of the proceeds of crime as well as the financial crime agencies in both jurisdictions and the effectiveness of their sentencing policies towards financial crime. The author recommends a 'model financial crime policy' based on a detailed analysis of the measures discussed in this book.
