Details

The first book to offer a detailed analysis of both the law and operational approach of the CAB in Ireland.

Criminal Assets Bureau: Law and Practice explores the development of a new 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 during a time of crisis to target specific aspects of criminality. Since its establishment, some 25 years ago, it has become a key part of the Irish criminal justice system. The CAB has a unique structure and approach, with legislative options operating in the civil domain and results achieved in denying criminality the proceeds of crime. There has been widespread acceptance of this radical new model of criminal justice, much of which can be attributed to denying criminality the proceeds of their criminal activity.

Criminal Assets Bureau: Law and Practice considers each of those factors by offering a comprehensive policy and procedure based analysis of the background 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 multi-agency structure to deploy powers of forfeiture, revenue and social welfare against targeted individuals that is key to its operational prowess.
