About
Criminal Assets Bureau: Law and Practice explores the development of a different model of criminal justice in Ireland, one that targets the financial base of crime rather than the criminal actor.
The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) was established in Ireland in 1996 and is now a central component of the Irish criminal justice system. CAB’s unique structure and approach denies criminality of the proceeds of crime without pursuing criminal charges.
Criminal Assets Bureau: Law and Practice provides a comprehensive policy and procedure based analysis of the background and development of the structures underpinning CAB. It goes on to consider the legal framework of CAB, its operational boundaries established through case-law and its multi-agency nature. It is this bringing together of multiple agencies into a single structure to deploy the powers of forfeiture, revenue and social welfare against targets that is key to its prowess.
Criminal Assets Bureau: Law and Practice is the first book to offer a detailed analysis of both the law and the actual outcomes achieved from CAB’s operational areas. It is the interplay between these areas, operating in the civil law realm, that makes CAB unique and a transformative model.
