This insightful Research Handbook comprehensively analyses the current state of research on fraud and society, including chapters written by internationally recognised scholars and practitioners.

With a particular focus on digital technology, it explores how to enhance fraud research, minimise criminogenic environments, improve early detection of fraud, and support victims. The Handbook considers how offenders’ motivations and justifications for acting dishonestly have altered, the changes that have taken place in the experiences of victims of fraud, and how society has responded to the problem through the use of criminal justice action. Authors discuss empirical evidence on the nature, extent, and trends in economic crime to demonstrate various approaches to preventing and controlling fraud. Presenting international case studies which cover critical topics such as cyber scams, embezzlement, consumer fraud, and academic misconduct, this Research Handbook examines the most effective ways to mitigate and respond to fraud’s harmful impact on society.

This is a valuable resource for scholars and students of economic crime, criminology, economics and finance, forensic psychology, sociology, and law. It is also greatly beneficial to fraud investigators and policymakers.
