Civil Forfeiture of Criminal Property by Simon Nm Young
In this book, which is the first of its kind, leading experts examine the civil and criminal forfeiture systems in Australia, Canada, China, Ireland, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.
'. . this work is an important contribution to the global discourse on pursuing property, money or resources linked to crime.' -- Michelle Gallant, Journal of Business Law
'Informed and informative, Civil Forfeiture of Criminal Property is a seminal work of impressive scholarship and strongly recommended for professional, academic, and governmental judicial studies collections in general, and criminal justice reference collections in particular.' -- Library Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review
'This book is interesting because there is a dearth of writing on the subject. It must be read for that reason.' -- Sally Ramage, The Criminal Lawyer
'Once called "the monster that ate jurisprudence", civil forfeiture is now an established weapon in the fight against organized crime, terrorism, drug trafficking and corruption. This fine collection of essays covering civil forfeiture regimes in ten diverse jurisdictions, written by leading practitioners, provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of the jurisprudential, legal, political and practical dimensions of the new generation of these powerful and controversial laws. I commend this book to criminal, civil, comparative and human rights lawyers who have an interest in how serious and profit-motivated crime, and responses to it, develop over time and in different legal cultures.' -- Arie Freiberg, Monash University, Australia
