Book Frauds and Financial Crimes

Download or read book Frauds and Financial Crimes written by Alan Doig and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-16 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides a contemporary overview of major issues and control strategies associated with fraud and financial crime, including prevention, public ethics, compliance mechanisms, and law enforcement in England and Wales. The UK – and in particular, England & Wales - has had a number of public strategies and plans to address fraud and financial crime, beginning (in this edited volume) with the 2008 National Fraud Strategy and now including, most recently, the 2020 Local Government Fraud and Corruption strategy, the 2019 Economic Crime Plan and National Fraud Policing Strategy, the 2018 Serious and Organised Crime Strategy, and the 2017 Anti-Corruption Plan. All, together with a number of past, existing, reconfigured and new institutions and procedures, reflect a continuing collective response to emerging issues and themes in fraud and financial crime. Frauds and Financial Crimes: Trends, Strategic Responses and Implementation Issues in England and Wales contributes insights about the continuing interplay of strategic responses, priorities and implementation in an era of budget reductions, competing local and national agendas and a continuing absence of joined-up oversight and ownership. Drawing on both academic and practitioner experts, the book seeks to explore a range of important themes, including: the gaps between strategic intentions and practice on the ground; different approaches to the same issue; labelling of crimes as ‘organised’ and/or ‘economic’; collaborative public-private and inter-agency approaches and problem ownership; the role of prevention; and the translation of experience upwards and policy downwards in development and implementation. In doing so, it seeks to inform more effective strategic responses to fraud and financial crime. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal Public Money and Management.

Book Policing the Global South

Download or read book Policing the Global South written by Danielle Watson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policing the Global South provides scholarship which further transnationalises and democratises ideas about policing practices and philosophies, highlighting renovations in approaches to policing studies, and injecting innovative perspectives into the study of policing from scholars positioned on the ‘periphery’. Criminological knowledge depolarisation underscores a conscious effort by scholars from the Global South to increase intellectual knowledge focused on developing context-specific responses to issues not aligned to Northern ideological positions and specific to the non-Northern context. Such shifts draw attention to the expanse of spaces beyond Northern centres rife with challenges unlike any specific to those experienced or conceptualised by scholars from the Global North with an applied Northern criminological lens. Applying a postcolonial lens to empirical knowledge from country-specific cases in former colonies in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, the Pacific, and Latin America, this book examines how policing issues not aligned to Northern ideological positions and specific to non-Northern contexts are addressed. The primary purpose is to share innovations in the field of policing – service provision, threats to security, crime responses, justice and international trends – developed in postcolonial developing-country contexts. Given the aim of the book and the contributors’ own research on issues of policing across the globe, it discusses themes including but not limited to the colonial legacies and their impact on policing; how plural regulatory systems and partnerships are navigated by the police; the linkages between access to justice, community perceptions, and police legitimacy; innovations and challenges in organisational reform, crime prevention, and community partnerships; and the expanding roles of police organisations in the Global South. While each chapter presents a policing issue in a country within a specific part of the Global South, the book highlights how important it is to frame responses based on contextual realities informed by an awareness of the past and present, with a goal of informing the future. Delivering a much-needed introduction to those specialising in policing in developing countries, this book is invaluable reading for academics and students of criminology, criminal justice, governance, policy, and IR, as well as professionals in policing organizations across the globe.

Book The Psychology of Fraud  Persuasion and Scam Techniques

Download or read book The Psychology of Fraud Persuasion and Scam Techniques written by Martina Dove and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychology of Fraud, Persuasion and Scam Techniques provides an in-depth explanation of not only why we fall for scams and how fraudsters use technology and other techniques to manipulate others, but also why fraud prevention advice is not always effective. Starting with how fraud victimisation is perceived by society and why fraud is underreported, the book explores the different types of fraud and the human and demographic factors that make us vulnerable. It explains how fraud has become increasingly sophisticated and how fraudsters use communication, deception and theories of rationality, cognition and judgmental heuristics, as well as specific persuasion and scam techniques, to encourage compliance. Covering frauds including romance scams and phishing attacks such as advance fee frauds and so-called miracle cures, the book explores ways we can learn to spot scams and persuasive communication, with checklists and advice for reflection and protection. Featuring a set of practical guidelines to reduce fraud vulnerability, advice on how to effectively report fraud and educative case studies and examples, this easy-to-read, instructive book is essential reading for fraud prevention specialists, fraud victims and academics and students interested in the psychology of fraud.

Book Corporate Governance  Case study and analysis

Download or read book Corporate Governance Case study and analysis written by Irene Anne McLaughlin and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-07-14 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case Study from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 77%, University of Ulster, course: Corporate Governance, language: English, abstract: This study will analyse governance, risk and ethics with the example of TM, whom has struggled in nearly every area; and discuss whether it is possible to act in the interests of all stakeholders in an industry that has a primary role as the seller of "brash reporting of show business stars”. Corporate governance has been quoted as the exercise of power over corporate entities. Trinity Mirror (TM, known today as the “Daily Mirror Newspaper”) launched in 1903 as a pro-women newspaper which has a long history of corporate governance, risk and ethics swaying from diversity to insolvency, unethical trade, treason, audit abuse, and unethical reporting/management. This analysis will consider the corporate governance issues; theories, academic, professional or legal literature/regulations; and whether the events of Trinity Mirror & their responses are consistent or in contrast with those theories. This study further ponders if their responses were suitable, and if similar events occurred whether the current system of governance and accountability is sufficient. It concludes with the lessons learnt and an investment decision criterion for TM.

Book Vulnerability

    Book Details:
  • Author : Charlotte Heath-Kelly
  • Publisher : Manchester University Press
  • Release : 2023-06-27
  • ISBN : 1526169363
  • Pages : 320 pages

Download or read book Vulnerability written by Charlotte Heath-Kelly and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be ‘vulnerable’? Exploring the rise of ‘vulnerability’ as an organising concept in migration detention, integration, public health, national security and social policy, this volume reveals the blurring of welfare state logics with national security ends. Governments and international agencies use the language of vulnerability to identify needy constituents and communities, but also to frame that need as potentially dangerous. Using international case studies this book shows how vulnerability governance permeates policy sectors – transforming the methods used to govern, problematise and resolve – bringing questions of risk management and security into social policy, but simultaneously brings social policy sectors into counterterrorism delivery. The combination of welfare state and security logics brings interventions deeper into societies, securitising communities and individuals on account of their needs, governing the social through security politics.
