Recensioner i media

'This book brings together a collection of essays that gives the reader an up-to-date perspective on the current research in corporate crime, ranging from regulatory and tax non-compliance to fraud, money-laundering and the role of organised crime in legitimate enterprises. The essays don't provide all the answers but certainly ask all the right questions. This book will be of value to regulators, law enforcement agents, criminologists, economists and lawyers, and all students of the economics of crime.'
