| ABSTRACT |
| Despite the fact that fraud represents one of the most important crimes and causes significant losses each year, it has remained largely neglected in the literature. This book offers a comprehensive and contemporary overview of the crime of fraud, providing an in-depth analysis of its definition, its costs, its causes, the nature of the offenders who commit fraud, the legal framework and regulations dealing with fraud, as well as the procedures and institutions involved in its preventions, detection, investigation and prosecution. || The author focuses on the UK situation, but the book also presents a wide range of case studies and portraits of the ways in which a large number of organizations seek to deal with fraud, representing a valuable reading for both students and practitioners. || || |
