Review Quotes:
"...a captivating and insightful read for attorneys, law school students, and anyone interested in international law." --Donald J. Rebovich, International Criminal Justice Review Vol 16-3
"This book's impressive breadth, detailed analysis and questioning style are refreshing and are warmly welcomed." --Rachel Barnes, Cambridge Law Journal "...excellent introduction to money laundering and the elements of the money-centred approach...Alldridge's most important contribution however comes from his exposition of the confusion, contradictions and inconsistencies that emerge from the money-centred approach to crime control." --M. Michelle Gallant, University of Manitoba, Criminal Law Forum "The book has the double virtue of being both an academic survey while also accessible and stimulating for the non-specialist. This is a timely liberal critique and human-rights audit of important developing and controversial law, the impact of which is certain to be far-reaching, and for many uncomfortable." --Paul Marshall, New Law Journal "...useful analysis of the forfeiture and confiscation provisions and the controversial confiscation without conviction, the socalled civil recovery. Alldridge is always conscious of the human rights dimension and the juxtaposition of the sometimes draconian principles with human rights case law, gives this book a particular relevance." --Jonathan Cooper, Criminal Bar Association Newsletter
