Concentrating on the relationship between the 2007 financial crisis and white-collar crime in both the United States of America and the United Kingdom this unique book asserts that such activity was an important variable that contributed towards the crisis. It also reveals a number of similarities and differences in the approach towards white-collar crime emanating from the financial crisis.
Offering an important analysis of the factors which contributed to the global financial crisis and the role played by economic crime, the author provides an insightful critique of the legislative, regulatory and enforcement responses on both sides of the Atlantic. Specific examples include mortgage fraud, predatory lending, Ponzi fraud schemes, market misconduct and the manipulation of LIBOR. Nicholas Ryder's conclusions are powerful, and those responsible for policing the financial markets should take careful note of the recommendations he puts forward.
This timely book will be of great use to both teachers and students of financial crime relevant modules. It will also appeal to policy-makers in government departments, law enforcement agencies and financial regulatory agencies, as well as professionals within the financial services sector, law and accountancy.

Reviews for The Financial Crisis and White Collar Crime: The Perfect Storm?
’In his book, The Financial Crisis and White Collar Crime: The Perfect Storm? Nicolas Ryder connects the 2007 financial crisis to white-collar crime in both the United States and the United Kingdom. He seeks to address one of the most important questions raised since the outbreak of the financial crisis, namely, what variables contributed to or caused the largest financial crisis since the Great Depression and Wall Street Crash. . . . presents an extremely well-researched analysis of the spectrum of the financial crisis . . . and adeptly ties it all back in within the nexus of white-collar crime. Overall, this monograph presents an interesting juxtaposition of the US and UK white-collar crime and the respective government's responses to the financial crisis.'
Alison S. Burke, Criminal Justice Review 'The Financial Crisis and White Collar Crime: The Perfect Storm? will be of value to those interested in white collar crime as well as anyone seeking to understand the underlying causes of the crisis and whether or not circumstances have changed to that similar events will not occur in the future.'
Banking & Finance Law Review 'This mighty book by Nicholas Ryder is a tome of a monograph, with its 334 pages of which over 100 pages consist of its extensive bibliography, evidence of the huge impact that the financial crisis has had, warranting this plethora of news, official reports, laws, case law, new government policies, new regulatory agencies, television documentaries in many countries... Nicholas Ryder's book, The Financial Crisis and White Collar Crime, is pretty exhaustive in its description of the financial crisis and deserves a place among the reference books relating to the global financial crisis. I heartily recommend it.'
Sally Ramage, The Criminal Lawyer 'Professor Nicholas Ryder in The Financial Crisis and White Collar Crime: The Perfect Storm? not only provides a detailed and comprehensive chronicle of the "dark side" of the near collapse of the western financial system, but in doing so raises a number of exceedingly important issues as to the systems ability to recognise the risks presented by serious crime and its ability to address them. The extent to which fraud and abuse exacerbated the crisis is and will remain a matter for debate. What this book does, often referring to contrasting US experience, is to illustrate the serious weaknesses that existed then and perhaps remain, in the criminal justice systems' ability to bring those who commit fraud and other abuses to book. Professor Ryder has made a significant contribution not only to our understanding of what went wrong, but also in pointing to what should be done in the future.'
