Abstract

Outlines a modelling approach which gives a powerful conceptual tool for both fact-finding and problem-solving, with the objective of defeating organised crime by prediction and prevention. Indicates all aspects that can give useful information about the financial system?s functioning; these include the legal and organisational framework, professional expertise, economic analysis, sociological studies, and statistical analysis, and shows how they can be integrated to allow the setting out of a three-pronged kit of instruments - a map of possible transactions, a data set that can be organised heuristically for modelling, and a range of criteria for behaviour motivation.
