Book excerpt: Money, Work, and Crime: Experimental Evidence presents the complete details of the Department of Labor’s $3.4 million Transitional Aid Research Project (TARP), a large-scale field experiment which attempted to reduce recidivism on the part of ex-felons. Beginning in January 1976, some prisoners released from state institutions in Texas and Georgia were offered financial aid for periods of up to six months post-release. Payments were made in the form of Unemployment Insurance benefits. The ex-prisoners who were eligible for payments were compared with control groups released at the same time from the same institutions. The control groups were not eligible for benefits. The assumption that modest levels of financial help would ease the transition from prison life to civilian life was partially supported. Ex-prisoners who received financial aid under TARP had lower rearrest rates than their counterparts who did not receive benefits and worked comparable periods of time. Those receiving financial aid were also able to obtain better-paying jobs than the controls. However, ex-prisoners receiving benefits took longer to find jobs than those who did not receive benefits. The TARP experiment makes a strong contribution both to an important policy area—the reduction of crime through reducing recidivism—and to the further development of the field and experiment as a policy research instrument.

Book excerpt: The pursuit of the financial proceeds of criminal activity has become a central theme of contemporary crime control. Initially conceived to tackle the global trade in illegal drugs, these methods have been more recently employed in the context of terrorism. This work offers a judicious account of the national and international strategies which seek to cope with crime by attacking its financial underpinnings. The book focuses on the increasingly civil legal orientation of these strategies - a sea change from criminal prosecutions to civil legal instruments. The author focuses on developments of the civil strategy in the US and the UK beginning with its historical origins. The work reveals the contradictions that animate the civil approach to criminal finance and discloses the failure of civil devices, as presently constituted, to comply with rights. It bridges the gap between two jurisdictions prominent in this area; the United States and the United Kingdom. This comparative element distinguishes the project from other work in the field that focuses on a single jurisdiction. Critical in its perspective, the work brings balance and reflection to an emergent area of national and international interest.

Book excerpt: "An important, arresting book."--Michael Rogin, author of Blackface, White Noise "This is a great book. Well written and argued, extensively documented, it is without doubt the definitive report on the S & L scandals. Calavita, Pontell and Tillman lay to rest, once and for all, the convenient canard that 'bad management' and 'bad economic conditions' caused the S & L disaster. Their clear, careful analyses make it crystal clear that massive insider fraud was basic in every sense."--Laureen Snider, Queens University (Ontario, Canada)

Book excerpt: "The insidious crime of secretly or surreptitiously altering the monetary laws of a state - than which no more dastardly or fatal blow can be dealt at its liberties - is not a new one. There is a suggestion in the decree of B.C. 360, concerning the ancient iron money of Sparta, that Gylipus was not unfamiliar with this grave offence. In a later age, Pliny, who justly calls it 'a crime against mankind, ' evidently refers to that alteration of the Roman mint code by which what remained of the nummulary system of the Republic was subverted, about B.C. 200, in favor of the authorised private coinages of the gentes." Despite its title, referring to a mistress of Charles II of England, this 1899 work mainly deals with America.Contents: The Crime of 1666SilverThe Coining Mill and PressThe East India CompanyBarbara VilliersThe Cattle and Coinage BillSurrender of the Coinage PrerogativeBribery and CorruptionThe Crime of 1742The Crime of 1868The Crime of 1870The Crime of 1873Equitable MoneyAt the time of original publication in 1899, Alexander Del Mar, M.E., was formerly Director of the Bureau of Statistics of the United States; Mining Commissioner to the United States Monetary Commission of 1976; and the author of a number of books, including: A History of Precious Metals, and The Science of Money.

Book excerpt: "Taub explicitly and persuasively places the breakdown of enforcement and accountability in the context of money and class."--The New York Times How ordinary Americans suffer when the rich and powerful use tax dodges or break the law to get richer and more powerful--and how we can stop it. There is an elite crime spree happening in America, and the privileged perps are getting away with it. Selling loose cigarettes on a city sidewalk can lead to a choke-hold arrest, and death, if you are not among the top 1%. But if you're rich and commit mail, wire, or bank fraud, embezzle pension funds, lie in court, obstruct justice, bribe a public official, launder money, or cheat on your taxes, you're likely to get off scot-free (or even win an election). When caught and convicted, such as for bribing their kids' way into college, high-class criminals make brief stops in minimum security "Club Fed" camps. Operate the scam from the executive suite of a giant corporation, and you can prosper with impunity. Consider Wells Fargo & Co. Pressured by management, employees at the bank opened more than three million bank and credit card accounts without customer consent, and charged late fees and penalties to account holders. When CEO John Stumpf resigned in "shame," the board of directors granted him a $134 million golden parachute. This is not victimless crime. Big Dirty Money details the scandalously common and concrete ways that ordinary Americans suffer when the well-heeled use white collar crime to gain and sustain wealth, social status, and political influence. Profiteers caused the mortgage meltdown and the prescription opioid crisis, they've evaded taxes and deprived communities of public funds for education, public health, and infrastructure. Taub goes beyond the headlines (of which there is no shortage) to track how we got here (essentially a post-Enron failure of prosecutorial muscle, the growth of "too big to jail" syndrome, and a developing implicit immunity of the upper class) and pose solutions that can help catch and convict offenders.

Book excerpt: This book on the psychology of white collar criminals discusses various cases of financial crime, while also attempting to delve into the minds of the criminals in question. The literature on this topic is growing as it gains momentum in the scientific field, as a result of the extremely negative impact white collar crime has on its victims. Because there is considerable damage and vulnerability from these crimes, it is important to begin to classify them, and to understand the minds of those that commit these offenses. While the current literature is not extensive, this work provides a closer look into the various ethical and legal facets of financial crime, and helps to uncover the social, psychological and neurobiological factors that intersect in the minds of those criminals.

Book excerpt: Author Chris Mathers has had one of those lives most of us cannot fathom. He is a well-known international authority on money laundering whose work has seen him operating phony businesses and laundering money for drug lords and the Mob while working undercover with the RCMP, DEA, FBI and other foreign agencies worldwide. Mathers has seen it all and Crime School tells it all. Humourous at times, deadly serious at others, he describes how organized criminals operate domestically and internationally, how they are able to corrupt bankers and subvert economies, and how in fact money laundering is the nexus between organized crime and terrorism. Appealing to true crime fans and those in the business/finance sector, Crime School takes us through the history of money laundering, from ancient times through the South Florida cocaine craze of the 1970s, to todayâs beyond sophisticated techniques employed by terrorists and organized crime, techniques that have achieved such success that the face of our world has changed dramatically. Brisk, hard hitting, entertaining and sometimes shocking and frightening, Chris Mathers takes readers on a journey that is always fascinating, and it is an underworld few have ever experienced. Truly amazing.

Book excerpt: Criminal enterprise today supports a huge global economy, with a gross �domestic� product estimated at as high as five percent of world GDP. The World Bank puts the proceeds of crime, in recent years, at US$800 billion to US$1 trillion annually�a degree of economic leverage trumped by only a few of the world�s most developed nations. The ravages of transnational crime are apparent everywhere�terror, addictive and debilitating drugs, the ubiquity of combat rifles and handguns, political corruption, smuggling, tax evasion, trading in women and children, counterfeiting of goods and currency, and much more. Money laundering�the methodology by which ill-gotten gains are legitimized�is the visible link at which such crime can be most effectively attacked, as this powerful work by a leading expert demonstrates. Using the Indian experience (with which he is well acquainted) to particularize the issues, the author investigates the forces that determine the various means of money laundering and its opposition in today�s globalized world. These include the following: how the �parallel economy� of crime imperils the economic well-being of many states; the inevitable nexus of black markets and capital flight; terrorism as a threat to national security; the passage of criminal enterprise into legitimate business; criminal use of legitimate �fronts�; the extreme vulnerability of transitional economies; information technology�s huge boon to transnational crime; major criminal enterprises as multinational corporations; the ability of criminals to commit new kinds of crime before such crimes are understood and criminalized; and, the imperative of restoring good governance in all nations. Drawing on years of first-hand experience in transnational law enforcement and field research with numerous experts in India and elsewhere, Crime and Money Laundering offers a wide-ranging survey and analysis that is attentive to every detail. It is an authoritative work that will be of great value to all professionals struggling to deal with the scourge.
