This edited volume-the first book devoted to the topic of contract
cheating-brings together the perspectives of leading scholars
presenting novel research. Contract cheating describes the
outsourcing of students' assessments to third parties such that the
assignments or exams students submit are not their own work. While
research in this area has grown over the past five years, the
phenomenon has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Themes
addressed in this book include the definition of contract cheating,
its prevalence in higher education, and what motivates students to
engage in it. Chapter authors also consider various interventions
that can be used to address contract cheating's threat to academic
integrity in higher education including: assessment practice,
education, detection strategies, policy design, and legal
interventions.
