Their findings, published in the research journal PLOS One in November, suggests concentrating law enforcement efforts at the point of sale is more effective to reduce illegal market activity than seizing laundered profits. Their article, “The relative effectiveness of law enforcement policies aimed at reducing illegal trade: Evidence from Laboratory markets” is at https://bit.ly/illegal-markets.
