6th Winter Economic Crime Symposium
Fraud is a massive regulatory challenge, largely because of fraudsters’ continuous pursuit of a novel course of conduct. Facilitated by advances in communication technology and globalisation of business, organised forms of fraud have rapidly increased in its volume, and in some States represents the most common crime type. While this increase is concerning, the international community has recognised the worrying scale of fraud and the need for joint efforts in preventing and combating fraud. A prime example are recent legislative activities by the United Nations and its new global programme to support States in tackling organised fraud by new global tools on its typology and on legislative and policy measures against it.
The 6th Winter Economic Crime Symposium brings together a diverse body of researchers, practitioners, students, and other community members to discuss these new developments in policing economic crime. The Symposium is supported by the Journal of Economic Criminology and the International Society of Economic Criminology.
Speakers will include:
- United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) – keynote
- Prof. Edward R. Kleemans, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands
- Dr Yuliya Zabyelina, University of Alabama,USA
