First, read the following information about how legitimate business ownership may be used for money-laundering methods. Dirty money can be added to the cash revenues of a legitimate business enterprise, particularly those that are already cash-intensive, such as restaurants, bars, and rental stores. The extra money is simply added to the till. The cost of this laundering method is the tax paid on the income. With companies whose transactions are better documented, invoices can be manipulated to simulate legitimacy. A used car dealership, for example, may offer a customer a discount for paying cash and then report the original sale price on the invoice, thus explaining the existence of the extra illicit cash. A slightly more sophisticated scheme may allow a criminal to profit twice in setting up a publicly traded front company with a legitimate commercial purpose—first from the laundered funds commingled with those generated by the business, and second by selling shares in this company to unwitting investors. Then, compose an essay that analyzes the following issue. What legitimate criminal justice procedures may be used to interrupt the money-laundering methods described herein? In your answer, be sure to describe how organized crime entities use legitimate businesses as financial fronts. Also, analyze and argue your proposed procedures addressing both the positive and negative consequences of their implementation. Your essay must be at least two pages in length not counting the title and reference page, and it should use at least two academic sources, You should include an introduction and conclusion sections. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Explain the CSI effect and what it means, the advantages of the CSI effect on criminal/civil cases in court, and the disadvantages of the CSI effect in court. If the content needs to be broken up into additional sections (such as “The Cultivation Theory” which I have seen mentioned in many CSI Effect papers), then that is fine with me as long as all the research ties back to CSI effect and how it affects cases in a courtroom.
