Abstract

The paper first focuses on the crime of fraud and then on approaches to profiling offenders before examining closely studies of fraud offenders and their motivation. Drawing on the existing empirical literature, a profile of the serious fraud offender is presented and critiqued together with a taxonomy of such offenders comprising 12 types. The implications of the findings for fraud detection and prevention are discussed.
