Mapping the trails of financial crime

Abstract

Outlines a modelling approach which gives a powerful conceptual tool for both fact‐finding and problem‐solving, with the objective of defeating organised crime by prediction and prevention. Indicates all aspects that can give useful information about the financial system’s functioning; these include the legal and organisational framework, professional expertise, economic analysis, sociological studies, and statistical analysis, and shows how they can be integrated to allow the setting out of a three‐pronged kit of instruments ‐ a map of possible transactions, a data set that can be organised heuristically for modelling, and a range of criteria for behaviour motivation.
