`... the book is designed in an easily navigable manner, particularly useful in court ... I found it to be not only an invaluable introduction to the area, but also a continued source of practical assistance.'

`... changes require an authoritative book which will help to guide not only legal and financial practitioners but the many different classes of people from bankers to bouncers, from brokers to breakers, from spies-masters to spindle-makers who need a book to warn them perils and opportunities
which arise. This need has been handsomely met by the authors and the publishers of this book ... This book will be simply indispensable to anyone concerned with the criminal law.'

`'Another growing area of criminal practice and procedure is covered by Trevor Millington and Mark Sutherland Williams's 'The Proceeds of Crime'. This comprehensive consideration of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 incorporates the impact of the 2002 Act on interpretation of previous legislation
and is an essential and invaluable text on what is becoming an extremely significant area of law'.'

`This work is intended to provide a comprehensive and logical guide to confiscation law, and does so in a readable and accessible manner. Of particular use to the criminal practitioner are the explanations of civil procedure, with which many criminal practitioners will be unfamiliar, and, of
course, the differing rules of admissibility of evidence in the civil context. Moreover, the book is designed in an easily navigable manner, particularly useful in court...I was fortunate enough to have access to this work when I first became involved in confiscation, and found it to be not only an
invaluable introduction to the area, but also a continued source of practical assistance.'
