- Abstract
- (en) Since the late twentieth century, new criminal policies have emerged which have substantially restructured the global effort to fight crime. These anti-crime strategies eschew traditional approaches to fighting illicit behaviours in favour of a new paradigmatic shift towards the asset recovery strategy. The newly established mechanisms aim at tackling the criminals where it hurts the most, i.e. their property, with a view to ensuring that crime does not pay. This contribution succinctly analyses the birth and evolution of modern confiscation mechanisms, the prevailing models for efficient recovery of criminal property, and the European Union state of the art on the matter.
