Concluding Thoughts.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. .Crime Prevention and Security ManagementOrganized crimeCommercial crimesCrime preventionPoliceComputer crimesOrganized Crimehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B8000Financial Crimehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BD010Crime Preventionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BE010Policinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B2000Cybercrimehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B7000Organized crime.Commercial crimes.Crime prevention.Police.Computer crimes.Organized Crime.Financial Crime.Crime Prevention.Policing.Cybercrime.364.163May Tiggeyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut961488Bhardwa Binaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910300048703321Organised Crime Groups involved in Fraud2179759UNINA
