civil forfeiture: the experience of the United States

Civil forfeiture is a legal proceeding that forces obedience to the law by transferring ownership of property that has been used in violation of the legal code. What is unique about civil forfeiture is that it is not necessary to prove that the owner of the property committed the crime.
