This book provides an excellent insight into organised crime, organised fraud, and fraud generally. Tiggey May and Bina Bhardwa will introduce you to the range of problems that plague and undermine the formal response to fraud offences. Via their own original research they provide an important insight into the behaviour of organised offenders, tracing their diverse behaviour in committing a range of offences while remaining determinedly (and largely successfully) under the police radar. As the authors note, fraud constitutes about a third of all reported offences and the costs are astronomical. What we learn is that those engaged in high-level organised fraud are distinct—at least when compared with other types of organised crime operations—in that they commit an exceptionally high number of offences; facilitate extensive criminality by others; regularly use the services of professional enablers, sometimes blackmailing them into acting corruptly; and overall have a considerable and largely unrecognised impact on local communities.
