Edited by Simon N.M. Young, Associate Professor and Director, Centre for Comparative and Public Law, Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong
'Once called A"the monster that ate jurisprudenceA", civil forfeiture is now an established weapon in the fight against organized crime, terrorism, drug trafficking and corruption. This fine collection of essays covering civil forfeiture regimes in ten diverse jurisdictions, written by leading practitioners, provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of the jurisprudential, legal, political and practical dimensions of the new generation of these powerful and controversial laws. I commend this book to criminal, civil, comparative and human rights lawyers who have an interest in how serious and profit-motivated crime, and responses to it, develop over time and in different legal cultures.'- Arie Freiberg, Monash University, Australia
