An introduction notes the lack of empirical evaluation of these laws, indicating that the law may lack clear objectives and was not the result of a coherent policy analysis. Further papers focus on effective strategies for banks in avoiding criminal, civil, and forfeiture liability in money laundering cases; the constitutionality of these laws, the confiscation of proceeds of crimes, and money laundering offenses; mens rea requirements in the money laundering statutes; issues related to forfeiture; and the reporting requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act.
