Economic Crime Seminar Series: Anti-Money Laundering System and Globalisation – Panopticon built on quicksand?
About the Economic Crime Seminar Series
Economic crime costs more than £193bn per year. Tackling this complex problem requires an interdisciplinary perspective. A seminar series in economic crime invites these with expertise and interest in economic crime across faculties, departments, students and broader community to come together, share ideas, and engaged in a collaborative work.
This interdisciplinary initiative is organised by Dr. Branislav Hock, who is a Senior Lecturer in Economic Crime at the University of Portsmouth. He is also responsible for the Czech/Slovakian website of the Risk & Compliance Platform Europe. The Economic Crime Seminar Series is the joint effort of:
a) The Institute of Criminal Justice Studies
b) Portsmouth Law School
c) Portsmouth Business School – the Department of Economics and Finance
d) Portsmouth Business School – the Department of Accounting and Financial Management
