Introduction

Professor Naylor's research concerns international black markets, smuggling (particularly of arms, drugs, wildlife and art-works), money laundering, environmental crime, and, more recently "terrorist financing." He consults for and lectures to government agencies involved in tax and criminal justice enforcement issues, and to forensic accounting firms involved in investigating financial fraud. His published work appears regularly in, among other journals, Crime, Law and Social Change, of which he is a senior editor. He is the author of ten books of which the best known are: Hot Money and the Politics of Debt; Economic Warfare: Sanctions, Embargo Busting and State-Sponsored Crime; Wages of Crime: Black Markets, Illegal Finance and the Underworld Economy; Satanic Purses: Money, Myth and Misinformation in the War on Terror; and, most recently, Crass Struggle: Greed, Glitz and Gluttony in a Wanna-Have World.
