Assessing the growth rate of a form of crime can be extremely difficult, given that criminals do not hand over statistics of their illegal activities. Other measures such as number of seizures is also influenced by customs attention, coverage and efficiency. Another factor is the scope of ever changing scams, as well as changing smuggling routes. Homicides and financial crimes are to some extent reported or can be found in some countries’ public conviction databases. Many environmental crimes, by contrast, remain unregistered in spite of the massive scale. This has been a primary cause of low awareness of both the scale and the different modi operandi of effective laundering methods in the enforcement sector.
