This edited volume offers a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of significant issues and control strategies related to fraud and financial crime, encompassing prevention, public ethics, compliance mechanisms, and law enforcement in England and Wales. The UK, and particularly England and Wales, has implemented a series of public strategies and plans to combat fraud and financial crime, beginning with the 2008 National Fraud Strategy and continuing with the latest strategies such as 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. These strategies, along with a multitude of existing institutions and procedures, reflect a collective response to emerging challenges and trends in fraud and financial crime.

Frauds and Financial Crimes: Trends, Strategic Responses, and Implementation Issues in England and Wales delves into the complex dynamics of strategic responses, priorities, and implementation in a context of budget reductions, competing local and national agendas, and a lack of cohesive oversight and ownership. Drawing upon the expertise of both academic and practitioner experts, the book aims to explore a diverse range of critical themes, including:

Gaps between strategic intentions and practical realities on the ground

Diverse approaches to addressing the same issues

Labeling crimes as organized or economic

Collaborative public-private and inter-agency approaches to problem-solving

Ownership of issues and challenges by various stakeholders

Role of prevention in mitigating fraud and financial crime

Translating experiences and insights from the field to policy development and implementation

By examining these themes, the book seeks to provide valuable insights into more effective strategies for combating fraud and financial crime in England and Wales. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of fraud and financial crime control in a globalized world.
