Dive into the intricate realm of modern financial crime combating with this latest collection. Edited by global experts and featuring contributions from leading international scholars, the collection spans a spectrum of financial crimes, including crypto crime, terrorist financing, illegal logging, and money laundering. The collection provides focused insights into institutional risk-based compliance, offering perspectives on practices employed by banks and challenges faced in implementing risk-based measures to combat the financing of weapons of mass destruction. Additionally, it explores the interplay between cannabis regulation and money laundering. The collection raises thought-provoking questions about the effectiveness and efficiency of the risk-based approach to financial crime. It explores the evidence supporting its implementation and whether it has proven to be the best alternative. Specific concerns regarding bias and discrimination, especially in relation to mutual evaluations conducted by the Financial Action Task Force, are addressed. In light of these concerns and current evidence, the collection provides constructive proposals and enhances the understanding of the challenges that need to be navigated in the ongoing fight against financial crime. This book a product of the Financial Integrity Hub (FIH), is essential reading for professionals, scholars, and anyone interested in staying ahead in the ever-evolving landscape of financial crime risk management.Chapters "The Crime-Crypto Nexus: Nuancing Risk across Crypto-Crime Transactions" and "The FATF’s Combating of Financing of Proliferation Standards: Private Sector Implementation Challenges" are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License> via link.springer.com.
