      abstract = {This book surveys the development of laws surrounding the  crime of money laundering and the associated changes in the  anti-money laundering (AML) industry. The policy of  attempting to deal with crime by attacking its financial  products started in the arena of drugs, but quickly moved  to organised crime, terrorism, corruption and tax. Now the  focus has shifted once again to organised crime and to  immigration. In the wake of the failure of the 'war on  drugs' a huge amount of money is now being spent on a  global surveillance and reporting system, and we do not  know whether the system works or not. What Went Wrong With  Money Laundering Law? documents the events which, taken  independently, could each be seen as rational responses to  specific problems and as incremental adjustments to the  focus of the law. Taken together, however, it is  demonstrated that they have led to significant changes in  the law and to the current situation. Underlying the entire  AML industry is the crime of money laundering, which,  having been devised more to provide a trigger for the  reporting machinery than to describe and condemn a  particular category of harmful behaviour, is now being used  in a far wider range of cases than is appropriate. This  book will be of great interest to scholars and  practitioners of criminal and financial law, socio-legal  studies and criminology.},
