Reducing IFFs is now a key target of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, renewing debates about both how to operationally define IFF and the methodologies that are used to estimate their extent. This book addresses these key issues, by investigating and schematizing the concept of illicit financial flows and critically evaluating the current models used to estimate them. It book proposes an original flow-network approach through which to produce longitudinal and country-specific estimates of IFFs and the gross value added related to transnational trafficking. It advocates for a reformulation of the current definition of IFFs to one that is more specific and operational, allowing scholars and policy-makers to better clarify the relationship between IFFs, the sources of capital and the channels that are used to move capital abroad. This brief will be an indispensable guide for students of criminology and organized crime, and for the researchers and practitioners working to understand and combat these crimes. 410 0$aInternational and Comparative Criminology,$x2365-841X 606 $aCommercial crimes 606 $aTransnational crime 606 $aFinancial Crime$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BD010 606 $aTrafficking$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B4030 615 0$aCommercial crimes. 615 0$aTransnational crime. 615 14$aFinancial Crime. 615 24$aTrafficking. 676 $a364.168 700 $aAziani$b Alberto$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0940313 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300058703321 996 $aIllicit Financial Flows$92120384 997 $aUNINA
