Management and Disposal of Confiscated Vehicles: A Global Perspective
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper reviews the management practices of confiscated vehicles and properties across various countries, highlighting their impact on crime reduction. The analysis demonstrates that vehicle confiscation is an effective measure in lowering recidivism and deterring criminal activities by eliminating opportunities to profit from offenses. However, the study emphasizes the necessity of implementing proper management and disposal policies for seized vehicles to ensure sustainable development. Effective handling of confiscated assets not only supports crime prevention but also contributes to broader social and economic goals. The piled stock of junk vehicles is becoming a threat to many economies as it is connected with rules and regulations, court procedures, maintenance, etc. This paper attempts to review and analyze different studies on confiscated vehicles. Many studies proven that vehicle confiscation is effective in reducing recidivism or criminal attempts. The confiscation of vehicles is effective in reducing the chance of making an income through illegal measures.
