The Fifteenth International Symposium on Eco-

of Crime — the electronic dimension' was held at
Jesus College, Cambridge University from 14th to
20th September, 1997. Previous symposia have
been convened to discuss a variety of issues relat-

focused on areas of concern such as banking
secrecy, how to take the profit out of crime, on
cross-border commercial crime, as well as on how
to manage the risks of economic crime.

Advanced Legal Studies, London University. Over
the years, this annual symposium has grown in
importance, and has become an extremely useful
forum, attended by practitioners, law enforcement
officers, academics and policy makers involved in
the battle against economic crime and organised
