Abstract
This paper provides some reflections on the articles and the report excerpt included in
the special issue of Trends in Organised Crime on organised crime and money
laundering policy. The aim of this special issue to invite the reader to re-examine
conventional wisdom in this issue area. The papers in this special issue emphasise the
variation in policy measures, as they articulate the interplay between national and
transnational controls, or focus on the national level but in a comparative way.
Keywords Organised crime - Money laundering - AML - Policy - Regulation - Professional

Just as criminology has often been regarded as a 'rendez-vous' discipline, so too is this
special issue of Trends in Organised Crime as it brings together research and reflec-
tions on organised crime and money laundering policy. One of the problems for
scholarship in this arena is the need to keep an eye out for the dynamics of crime
and crime control, and its variability in different jurisdictions (see Hobbs and
Antonopoulos 2014): sometimes the access to data and people, resources or motivation
to regularly monitor these in the way the Dutch organised crime monitoring works
simply are not there. Taken as a whole, the articles in this issue invite readers to re-
examine conventional wisdoms and emphasise the variation in crime control measures.
