A Comment on ‘Socio-legal Research and Insider Trading in Australia A Comment on 'Socio-Iegal Research and Insider Trading in Australia Roman Tomesic' Introduction In her article 'Socio-Iegal research and insider trading in Australia' Gillian Dempsey discusses a number of matters arising from some well publicised research which played a part in the debate about insider trading law reform which occurred in Australia in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These research findings were brought together in book entitled, Casino Capitalism? Insider Trading in Australia, published by the Australian Institute of Criminology in 1991 (Tomasic & Pentony 1991). The research project, originally funded by the Criminology Research Council, was based upon interviews with 99 well placed informants working in and around the Australian securities industry as regulators, securities lawyers, stock brokers, financial advisers and financial journalists. These in-depth interviews, based upon an open-ended interview schedule, sought to grapple with a number of issues which had been engaging the minds of regulators, media commentators and researchers; the issues discussed included the extent of insider trading, its effects, problems of law enforcement in this area and the policy' bases for insider trading laws.

A Comment on 'Socio-Iegal Research and Insider Trading in Australia Roman Tomesic' Introduction In her article 'Socio-Iegal research and insider trading in Australia' Gillian Dempsey discusses a number of matters arising from some well publicised research which played a part in the debate about insider trading law reform which occurred in Australia in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These research findings were brought together in book entitled, Casino Capitalism? Insider Trading in Australia, published by the Australian Institute of Criminology in 1991 (Tomasic & Pentony 1991). The research project, originally funded by the Criminology Research Council, was based upon interviews with 99 well placed informants working in and around the Australian securities industry as regulators, securities lawyers, stock brokers, financial advisers and financial journalists.
