Wages of Crime by R T Naylor

Wages of Crime by R T Naylor

Wages of Crime takes the reader into the shadowy underworld of modern criminal businessarms trafficking, gold smuggling, money laundering, and terrorist financing.

The success of the policy of controlling crime by pursuing its proceeds remains unproven, the author arguesNaylor also finds several social harms of the policy, including a distortion of law enforcement priorities, the reduction of an individual's defense against arbitrary official action when the government is allowed to pursue punitive measures while satisfying only a civil burden of proof, and the corruption engendered by the use of 'sting' operations.
