These nine papers examine laws on money laundering with respect to their content, impacts, and other issues.
Abstract
An introduction notes the lack of empirical evaluation of these laws, indicating that the law may lack clear objectives and was not the result of a coherent policy analysis. Further papers focus on effective strategies for banks in avoiding criminal, civil, and forfeiture liability in money laundering cases; the constitutionality of these laws, the confiscation of proceeds of crimes, and money laundering offenses; mens rea requirements in the money laundering statutes; issues related to forfeiture; and the reporting requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act.
