Cops, Firefighters, and Scapegoats: Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Professionals in an Era of Regulatory Bulimia [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
U.S. criminologists have overlooked the phenomenon of the expansion of the AML (anti-money laundering) industry. This article contributes to the literature on AML professionals in major US banks and their occupational culture through semi-structured interviews with 22 senior AML specialists. It investigates their understanding of their ambiguous role at the intersection of regulation, law enforcement and profit-making, and their perception of what effectiveness and success within their role means given competing objectives. Also probed are the interviewees' value-orientations and location amid political, economic and regulatory/legal changes and employment pressures.
