Ronald F Pol

Senior researcher NZ, La Trobe University

Outcomes are results that matter, beyond activities, processes and outputs (often mislabeled 'outcomes'). Currently focused mostly on the 'war' against money laundering, arguably the least effective anti-crime measure, ever, anywhere (as quoted in US Senate testimony). Unlocking new ways to achieve better outcomes in such areas offer practical lessons to help resolve 'merely' intractable issues elsewhere.
