Handbook

This foundation subject examines the use of regulation to control crime. Focussing on money laundering and terrorist financing is essential for students studying this discipline. It explores research paradigms that shape the understanding of how money laundering and terrorist financing can be controlled across different jurisdictions and industries. The subject examines theoretical perspectives on the nature and causes of crime and the role of state and non-state stakeholders in controlling criminal behaviour. Regulatory and criminal justice failures will be examined with a view to understand cause and effect. The effectiveness of regulatory, criminal and civil sanctions will also be examined.
