Through analysis of data held by the National Crime Agency on
organised crime groups, and in-depth analysis of qualitative
interviews with convicted fraudsters and enforcement professionals,
this detailed study fills a significant gap in the contemporary
literature on organised crime groups involved in fraud. Throughout
the chapters, the perspective of convicted offenders and those
involved in its policing are juxtaposed to show the ease of
committing fraud from the perspective of offenders on the one hand,
and the investigative challenges experienced by law enforcement
officers on the other. May and Bhardwa's insights shed light on
offender motivations, routes into fraud and organised crime, and
the nature and shape of organised crime groups and their
operations. Alongside the offender perspective the law enforcement
interviews provide a unique interpretation of the procedural and
legislative weaknesses that appear to allow this type of offender
to make considerable financial gain. The key recommendations based
on empirical findings will greatly benefit those interested in
understanding the links between fraud and organised crime in the UK
and those seeking to improve enforcement efforts.
'What a fantastic read, but not for the faint-hearted!' MARTINA
COLE 'True crime has never been more female - or more deadly.'
KIMBERLEY CHAMBERS 'Admired and respected by the men who worked
with her, she is the real deal.' FREDDIE FOREMAN If you think you
know everything about the East End's toughest gangsters, think
again. Meet Linda Calvey, aka the Black Widow. Growing up after the
war in the East End of London, Linda falls in with local gangsters
including the Krays, Freddie Foreman and Ronnie Cook. When the love
of her life, Mickey Calvey, is gunned down on a job gone wrong,
Linda resolves to carry on his work. But in 1990, after years of
living in fear of her lover Ronnie Cook, Linda finds herself
accused of his murder alongside Danny Reece, in a trial that shocks
the nation. Still, Linda sticks to her code of honour, refusing to
confess. Until now... After 18 years behind bars alongside
notorious names including Rose West and Myra Hindley, she is
released. This is the final truth about her life and what happened
the day Ronnie Cook was murdered.
