Summary:

R.T. Naylor has devoted much of his career to researching the illegal economy - organized crime, the connections between guerrilla finance and the international arms trade, smuggling, tax havens, money laundering, and other forms of illegal enterprise. In Wages of Crime he focuses on crime statistics that do not reflect the reality of criminal activities and questions the policy recommendations that these "fuzzy numbers" support.
