Michelle Gallant, University of Manitoba * Criminal Law Forum * The book has the double virtue of being both an academic survey while also accessible and stimulating for the non-specialist. This is a timely liberal critique and human-rights audit of important developing and controversial law, the impact of which is certain to be far-reaching, and for many uncomfortable. -- Paul Marshall * New Law Journal * ...useful analysis of the forfeiture and confiscation provisions and the controversial confiscation without conviction, the socalled civil recovery.
