Examining the Role of Criminal Law in Combating Economic Crimes: A Comparative Analysis of Anti-Corruption Measures

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of criminal law in combatting economic crimes, with a focus on anti-corruption measures. It examines relevant legal theories and concepts related to economic crimes and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches adopted by selected countries. Case studies are used to analyze the outcomes and lessons learned from specific examples of economic crimes, and the responses and outcomes are compared across different jurisdictions. Based on the analysis, policy implications and recommendations are provided, including the need to strengthen legal frameworks, enhance enforcement mechanisms, implement preventive measures, foster international cooperation, and promote a culture of integrity. The findings highlight the importance of a multi-faceted approach to effectively address economic crimes and promote transparency and accountability.
