"The chapters in this book reveal that police education, training,
and practices are now closely tied to collaboration between police,
academics, professional practitioners, and community agencies, and
such collaboration is described and evaluated." -Dilip K. Das, PhD,
Founding President, International Police Executive Symposium (IPES)
and founding editor-in-chief, Police Practice and Research: An
International Journal, from the series editor's preface "The
chapters in this book present genuinely comparative, theoretically
informed, and experience-based collaborative programs to appraise
and analyze the specific practical, theoretical, and psychological
challenges of working together and the creative means to overcome
those challenges." -Otwin Marenin, Department of Criminal Justice
and Criminology, Washington State University, from the foreword A
collection of chapters authored by internationally known police
leaders, academics, researchers, and professionals, Collaborative
Policing focuses on the fact that the worlds of policing practice
and research are moving closer. Using in-depth interviews with
police and professionals who work with justice agencies as well as
case studies demonstrating fruitful police-academic collaboration,
it explores methods and programs for improving the quality of
services provided by the police. Many police executives, in
conjunction with citizens and political leaders, now define the
missions of their agencies on the basis of research findings,
practical experience, and projections of what policing will involve
in the future. This book shows you not only that collaboration can
occur, but that it can also enhance police service, which in turn
improves the quality of life for the communities they serve. Its
descriptions of police-academic cooperation provide you with
valuable guidelines for designing programs to develop a better
police force and a stronger community.

Fueled by corruption, fraud, and organized crime, the shadow
economy-also known as the informal, black market, illegal, or
underground economy-is currently on the rise worldwide. Corruption,
Fraud, Organized Crime, and the Shadow Economy addresses shadow
economies and the players involved by examining various aspects of
criminal law and prosecution. This book gathers the insights of
several world-renowned professionals and academics in order to
portray the links between organized crime, the shadow economy, and
corruption. It discusses how to address these issues as they relate
to crime, criminal law, and prosecution of the players involved.
The constant misconception by policy makers of the relationships
between organized crime, corruption, and the shadow economy fuels
the present status quo of economic inequality, increases the risks
of future economic crises, victimizes people, and even damages the
environment. This book takes a critical, multinational,
multidisciplinary, common-sense approach to complex and globalized
problems of conventional and unconventional deviance through the
shadow economy. The contributors identify key critical areas in
specific countries from which they originate, adding an insider's
perspective to their analyses. With these insights and the use of
illustrative case studies, they highlight best practices as well as
mistakes to avoid in encountering the obstacles that lie ahead in
combating the shadow economy.
This textbook provides an overview of the major types of fraud and
corrupt activities found in private and public agencies, as well as
the various methods used to prevent fraud and corruption. It

prevention and control. This work covers fraud in the financial
sector, insurance, health care, and police organizations, as well
as cybercrime. It covers the relationship between fraud,
corruption, and terrorism; criminal networks; and major types of
personal scams (like identity theft and phishing). Finally, it
covers the prevention and control of fraud, through corporate
whistle blowing, investigative reporting, forensic accounting, and
educating the public. This work will be of interest to
graduate-level students (as well as upper-level undergraduates) in
Criminology & Criminal Justice, particularly with a focus on
white collar and corporate crime, as well as related fields like
business and management.
