Financial Crime and Knowledge Workers

A refreshing take on lawyers as knowledge workers and their strategies for today's financial crime defence. Gottschalk's material stems from Norway, but the trends described include Europe. Thirty years later and on another continent, Gottschalk confirms Kenneth Mann's seminal Defending White Collar Crime. Interesting reading on a topic that has had remarkably little attention during those years. - Trond Eirik Schea, Director, Okokrim (The National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime), Norway In this fascinating book, Gottschalk addresses how white-collar cases are prosecuted and defended in Norway and shows that the differential treatment of white-collar crimes is not limited to the United States. The book presents a unique and much needed addition to the literature on the problem of controlling white-collar crime and will be of great use to students studying white-collar crime and law enforcement professionals involved with white-collar cases. - Michael L.
