PREFACE

This publication is the fourth in the series Transactions devoted to

economic crime. In 1987 the fifth Volume in the series was devoted

to offences under the Companies Act of 1973. Volume 25,

published in 1995, was devoted to Economic Crime in Southern

Africa, while number 31, published in 1998, dealt with Money

laundering control in South Africa.

This Volume which primarily deals with money laundering,

corruption and computer crime, not only builds on the solid

foundations laid by the previous publications, but also renders

conclusive proof of the close cooperation in this field between the

Centre for Business Law on the one hand, the Centre for

International Documentation and Organised and Economic Crime

(CIDOEC), Cambridge, and the Institute of Advanced Legal

Studies, London, on the other hand.

Almost all the contributions included in this Volume are based on

papers delivered during conferences at Cambridge and Shanghai

where all three institutions were involved to some extent.

This publication is, like its predecessors, presented confident in

the knowledge that it will make a substantial contribution to the

debate on the subject.
