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.
