King, Walker, & Gurulé: The Palgrave Handbook of Criminal and Terrorism Financing Law

Colin King (Univ. of Sussex - Law), Clive Walker (Univ. of Leeds - Law), & Jimmy Gurulé (Univ. of Notre Dame - Law) have published The Palgrave Handbook of Criminal and Terrorism Financing Law (Palgrave Macmillan 2019). Here's the abstract:
The Palgrave Handbook of Criminal and Terrorism Financing Law focuses on how criminal and terrorist assets pose significant and unrelenting threats to the integrity, security, and stability of contemporary societies. In response to the funds generated by or for organised crime and transnational terrorism, strategies have been elaborated at national, regional, and international levels for laws, organisations and procedures, and economic systems. Reflecting on these strands, this handbook brings together leading experts from different jurisdictions across Europe, America, Asia, and Africa and from different disciplines, including law, criminology, political science, international studies, and business. The authors examine the institutional and legal responses, set within the context of both policy and practice, with a view to critiquing these actions on the grounds of effective delivery and compliance with legality and rights.
