Book Description
L'entraide pénale internationale constitue, pour les magistrats confrontés à la criminalité moderne et pour les avocats spécialisés en matière pénale, à la fois un mode d'investigation incontournable dans un nombre croissant d'enquêtes et une source de difficultés. Mal maîtrisée, elle sera à l'origine de retards souvent préjudiciables dans ces investigations et y laissera subsister des zones d'ombre, pouvant tantôt mener à l'échec de la procédure, tantôt à sa finalisation dans des conditions imparfaites (absence ou mainlevée de saisies d'avoirs patrimoniaux qui auraient été susceptibles de permettre l'indemnisation de victimes, défaut de collecte d'éléments de preuve, clôture de l'enquête dans un temps incompatible avec l'obligation de juger dans un délai raisonnable…). L'ambition des auteurs est de tenter, à travers leur expérience en cette matière, de mettre en évidence l'existence de cadres juridiques essentiellement internationaux, de nature à faciliter les relations avec les autorités judiciaires dans leurs États respectifs, dans le contexte de telles demandes d'entraide internationale. Dans la mesure où il se veut pratique, ce manuel tendra surtout à rappeler quels instruments sont en vigueur et à exposer leur mise en œuvre, y compris au regard du droit national des parties, dans le cadre de demandes actives et passives d'entraide internationale.

Book Description
This book gives a broad analysis of the legal issues raised by the international fight against money laundering. It offers an extensive comparative research of the criminal and preventive law aspects from an international perspective. Stessens portrays money laundering as a new criminal trend threatening both national and international societies which must be addressed multilaterally through banking practice, international conventions and human rights. Most of this volume is devoted to specific legal problems that spring from the international nature of the money laundering phenomenon. It contains a most detailed overview on the rules and practices of international co-operation in the fight against money laundering. The publication gives a thorough examination of the exchange of information, lifting banking secrecy, and seizing and confiscating assets, as well as the jurisdictional questions that inevitably arise in this context. The result is a rich and detailed study of international and comparative law.

Book Description
"Ethnographically rich, thick with gritty details and original insights, Rhodes's revelatory book about US prisons--those who are incarcerated in them and those who run them--should be read by everyone who cares about social justice and the nature of power."—Emily Martin, author of Flexible Bodies "Thank you, Lorna Rhodes, for taking us to where the 'worst of the worst' are kept out of sight and out of mind in the new millennium. This powerful ethnography of the correctional high tech machine reveals how institutional power suffocates individual agency and redefines rationality and insanity. Good, bad and evil fall by the wayside."—Philippe Bourgois, author of In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio "A truly remarkable book. The inside look at supermax confinement alone is worth the price of admission, and the prose sometimes verges on poetry. This is meticulous scholarship."—Hans Toch, author of Living in Prison

Book Description
The Bribery Act 2010 is the most significant reform of UK bribery law in a century. This critical analysis offers an explanation of the Act, makes comparisons with similar legislation in other jurisdictions and provides a critical commentary, from both a UK and a US perspective, on the collapse of the distinction between public and private sector bribery. Drawing on their academic and practical experience, the contributors also analyse the prospects for enforcement and the difficulties facing lawyers seeking asset recovery following the laundering of the proceeds of bribery. International perspectives are provided via comparisons with the law in Spain, Hong Kong, the USA and Italy, together with broader analysis of the application of the law in relation to EU anti-corruption initiatives, international development and the arms trade.
