Crime & criminology; Corporate crime; Organised crime

Billions of dollars are wasted each year trying to prevent 'dirty money' entering a financial system that is already awash with it. The authors challenge the global approach, arguing that complacency, self-interest and misunderstanding have now created long-standing absurdities.

International and government policy makers inadvertently facilitate tax evasion, corruption, environmental and organised crime by separating crime from its root cause. The handful of crime-fighters that do exist are starved of resources whilst an army of compliance box-tickers are prevented from truly helping. The authors provide a toolbox of evidence-based solutions to help the frontline tackle financial crime.

'Bang on the (dirty) money. This book is for anyone who wants to understand the problem, why we're failing and what can be done about it.' - David Lewis, Financial Action Task Force Executive Secretary 201522

'In a reader-friendly style for practitioners, the authors present an impassioned case for shaking up the conventional thinking of the 'anti-money laundering complex' and for more dynamic action on using financial investigation in prosecutions and proceeds of crime confiscation.' - Michael Levi, Cardiff University

'This is a crucial primer for anyone who wants to know why the world is failing to stop money laundering, written by two people who really know what they're talking about.' - Oliver Bullough, author of Butler to the World and Moneyland
