Abstract
In this chapter, we examine the approaches taken within Australian jurisdictions
towards the proceeds of crime in the past 25 years, but with a particular focus
on changes during the past decade. Features of the laws governing proceeds of
crime and asset recovery will be examined to the extent that they set out key
measures being adopted and implemented by law-enforcement and prosecution
authorities in Australia. In addition, we shall consider some of the organizational
and practical changes these agencies have undergone with the goal of taking away
the illicit profits from organized crime.
