Description

This book provides comprehensive guidance and critical commentary on the regime governing the freezing, restraint, and confiscation of the proceeds of crime under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Cth). The statutory framework and ever-expanding caselaw on the POCA is complex and demands a firm grasp of criminal, private, and public law concepts. Through its systematic exposition of statutory provisions and caselaw, the book provides a doctrinal platform on which the aims and impacts of the POCA are then assessed. Readers are encouraged to engage with the broader academic debates, and to reflect on whether the POCA has drawn the correct balance between preventing crime and depriving individuals of the proceeds and benefits of criminal activity and respecting civil liberties such as the right to property and the right to a fair trial. The book will be a valuable resource for lawyers, judges, and law enforcement officials dealing with proceeds of crime matters. It also contains a wealth of material for those undertaking research or teaching specialised electives in federal criminal law.
