A Fresh Look at Fraud features psychologists, criminologists, and computer scientists to address the state-of-the-art research on the rising problem of fraud, scams, and financial abuse, stimulating a cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas, theories, methods, and practices.

The book addresses topics such as mass marketing fraud, financial exploitation, ageing and cyber fraud, risk factors associated with becoming a fraud victim and online/cryptocurrency fraud. It offers a holistic picture of emerging trends and issues in fraud research and also includes discussion of the ‘Next Frontiers’ in research and important insights on how to create solutions.

Reviews for A Fresh Look at Fraud: Theoretical and Applied Perspectives

'A Fresh Look At Fraud showcases some of the leading international fraud researchers current works on fraud across the lifespan, including fraud trends such as covid related, cryptocurrency and other technology facilitated fraud crimes. It is a major contribution to theories of fraud susceptibility using indicators built on the intersectionality of psychology, neuroscience and economics (as well I would add to the field of victimology). It encompasses a systematic survey of the current research on fraud susceptibility that will hopefully drive further research and implementation of more effective programs to intervene and assist fraud victims, especially susceptible and vulnerable older adults.' - Debbie Deem, FBI Victim Specialist (retired)
