Author: Angela Veng Mei Leong
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131703550X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
Analyzing the structures of transnational organized crime, this book considers whether traditional mechanisms and national jurisdictions can tackle this increasing menace. Highlighting the strengths and weaknesses in the present methods of control, the book discusses the possibilities of developing more effective national and international strategies, the creation of non-legal mechanisms outside the traditional criminal justice system and the implications of 'disruption strategies'. The roles of law enforcement officers, tax investigators, financial intelligence officers, compliance officers, lawyers and accountants - in enforcing both civil and criminal sanctions on organized crime - are also considered.

Book Description
This White Paper looks at how the effort against organised crime can be enhanced. It builds on a review, which looked at organisational structures, strategies, skills, capabilities and the case for new powers. The key organisational change is the proposal for a new organised crime agency, which will bring together the work of the National Criminal Intelligence Service, the National Crime Squad, and the investigative work of HM Customs and Excise. Proposed new powers include: the extension of Serious Fraud Office type powers; a review of the law on conspiracy; a review of the case for a national witness protection scheme; a closer control of criminals' finances after release from prison; provisions to encourage defendants to plead guilty and testify against co-defendants.

As policy-makers look first (and easily) for existing policy solutions which could be adapted from elsewhere, policy transfer becomes increasingly central to policy development. This book explores whether policy transfer in 'everyday' policy-making may be unintentionally creating a system of preventive justice.

Inchoate Liability for Assisting and Encouraging Crime
Author: Great Britain: Law Commission
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 0101687826
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This report examines the possible reform of the current law relating to criminal liability for encouraging or assisting another person to commit an offence. There are currently three inchoate offences in common law which seek to punish conduct which enhances the prospect of actual harm occuring (relating to: attempt, conspiracy and incitement) but no inchoate offence to cover assisting a person to commit an offence if subsequently the offence is not committed or attempted. The Commission's report recommends the creation of two new statutory offences which relate to encouragement or assistance in the commission of an offence by either intending to encourage or assist its commission or believing that it will be committed. The report also sets out a number of recommended defences to the proposed offences. A second report focusing on the law of secondary liability will be published subsequently following consultation with legal experts.

Hidden Power
Author: James Cockayne
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190694815
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 498
Book Description
What should we make of the outsized role organized crime plays in conflict and crisis, from drug wars in Mexico to human smuggling in North Africa, from the struggle in Crimea to scandals in Kabul? How can we deal with the convergence of politics and crime in so-called 'mafia states' such as Guinea-Bissau, North Korea or, as some argue, Russia? Drawing on unpublished government documents and mafia memoirs, James Cockayne discovers the strategic logic of organized crime, hidden in a century of forgotten political--criminal collaboration in New York, Sicily and the Caribbean. He reveals states and mafias competing - and collaborating -- in a competition for governmental power. He discovers mafias influencing elections, changing constitutions, organizing domestic insurgencies and transnational terrorism, negotiating peace deals, and forming governmental joint ventures with ruling groups. And he sees mafias working with the US government to spy on American citizens, catch Nazis, try to assassinate Fidel Castro, invade and govern Sicily, and playing unappreciated roles in the Bay of Pigs fiasco and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
