Nicholas Ryder, Cardiff University, UK
’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.'
*Professor Barry Rider, Jesus College, Cambridge*
