Copyrighted Image? DMCA | The problem of not understanding fraud mechanisms is most intense among economists, who typically do not study fraud, do not understand fraud mechanisms, and have a tribal taboo against even writing or speaking the word "fraud."
The primary struggle is that economists, lawyers, judges, and even accountants have no theoretical understanding of modern white-collar crime. Despite an enviable predictive track record and the success of our policies when they are (rarely) put into practice, white-collar criminologists re overwhelmingly ignored in our core area of expertise by decision-makers whose policies are so criminogenic that they cause the epidemics of "accounting control fraud" that drive our recurrent, intensifying financial crises. |
