About the Book

"White Collar Crime and the Financial Crisis" offers a comprehensive commentary on the legal and policy responses to white-collar crime following the 2008 financial crisis. This work brings together an insightful group of experts from academia and practice to examine the significant challenges and reforms that have emerged in the aftermath of the crisis.

The book covers a broad spectrum of topics, including the low priority and scarce resources allocated to fraud detection, the EU regulatory efforts aimed at combating financial crime, and whistleblower protections within the financial industry. Key discussions also explore the rise of rogue traders, the evolution of financial crime in cryptocurrencies, and the financial penalties levied against banks and corporations by the US Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This collection of analyses not only reflects on the systemic flaws exposed by the financial crisis but also highlights the ongoing efforts to address these crimes and prevent similar future occurrences. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of financial regulation, criminal law, and economic policy.
