Economic crime not only causes tremendous damage, but is increasingly being critically scrutinized by the public, media and experts. Criminal economic activity has today reached a scale and extent that can no longer be dismissed as irrelevant. This indicates how important it is to be able to react to the problem adequately in business operations. This volume initially explains the diversity of economic offences, analyses types of perpetrators, organizational contexts, victims and damage, and embeds the problem in the context of corporate ethics. The textbook aims to understand the complex phenomenon on the basis of the current state of relevant legal, economic and social-science research and to identify starting points for preventing and combating economic crime, in the framework of the compliance and integrity approach.
