This Financial and Economic Crime module builds on existing knowledge in criminal law, commercial law, and public law to critically examine issues relating to the substantive law, both criminal and civil, regulatory practice, and compliance, providing students with knowledge of an increasingly important area of practice and risk management. Through this module, students will gain critical insights into the theories and application of contemporary principles relating to fraud, bribery, insider dealing, market abuse, corporate crimes, money laundering, terrorist financing, cybercrimes, digital crimes, drug trafficking, human trafficking and offshore-related offences and other types of financial and economic crimes in all contexts. This module critically interrogates the evolution of these forms of financial and economic crimes, and the risks posed to sectors and industries, as well as various control measures. While the law will be primarily that of the United Kingdom, there will be extensive reference to the impact of US law and other legal mechanisms across the world as applied on an extraterritorial basis.
