'Civil Recovery of Criminal Property' analyses the confiscation of the proceeds of crime in the absence of criminal conviction in Ireland and England & Wales in depth. By interviewing practitioners engaged with civil recovery proceedings, this book remedies the previous lack of empirical engagement with the operation of civil recovery in practice. Colin King, Jennifer Hendry. Also issued in print: 2023. Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book investigates the legal mechanisms and practical application of civil recovery as a tool for confiscating the proceeds of crime without the necessity of a criminal conviction. Author Colin King, a legal scholar, utilizes a combination of doctrinal analysis and empirical research to evaluate how these laws function within the jurisdictions of Ireland and England & Wales. By examining the gap between legislative intent and courtroom reality, the text provides a framework for understanding the efficacy and ethical implications of non-conviction-based asset forfeiture.
