Research studying connections between crime and education is a prominent aspect of the big increase of publication and research interest in the economics of crime field. This work demonstrates a crime reducing impact of education, which can be interpreted as causal through leveraging research...

This publication is a comprehensive guide designed to equip intellectual property (IP) owners with the necessary tools to efficiently refer cases of IP infringement for criminal investigation. The guide has been developed as part of the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal...

Peer interactions play a key role in the criminal sector due to its secrecy and lack of formal institutions. A significant part of criminal peer exposure happens in prison, directly influenced by policymakers. This paper provides a broader understanding of how peer effects shape criminal...

The extant literature on marginal deterrence supports the notion that individuals maintain a dynamic decision-making process that yields several ranked outcomes after weighing the risks and rewards. In this article, we conduct a novel large-scale empirical analysis of the marginal deterrence...

This paper uses the rare opportunity of the first ever criminal conviction in the UK of a bank for breaches of AML Regulations (NatWest) to examine the AML framework. The article investigates whether the current framework and enforcement are working in addressing the breaches. The article...

The literature on the causes of corruption has been preoccupied with the corrupt individual or the socio-political and economic contexts in which corruption occurs. This has resulted in macro-level counter-corruption approaches that focus on the root causes of corruption. In the last few...

This article conducts a comparative analysis of Italian and UK legislations concerning the infiltration of organised crime into the economy. Considering (among other things) the concerns about allegedly weakened cooperation between judicial authorities of Italy and the UK in a post-Brexit era,...

The principal aim of this study is to explore the applicability of the Business Model Canvas in comprehending and deconstructing the operational structure of white-collar crime, with specific emphasis on carding crime as a focal point. By combining insights from a Darknet-acquired criminal...

There is strong evidence that corporate psychopaths - ruthless people who willingly engage in fraud and even enjoy outwitting and stealing from others - are a dominant force at senior levels in financial organizations. While corporate psychopathy has obvious implications for fraud and causes...

Perception of white-collar crime seriousness varies from unfortunate incidents that can be excused to a major crime that needs harsh punishment. Students at a university in Romania were asked about their perceptions of seriousness. On a scale from 1 (not serious) to 7 (extremely serious) most...

When Russia attacked Ukraine, national states as well as multinational bodies such as the European Union imposed economic sanctions against Russia. Companies in sanctioning countries were expected to terminate their business with companies in the sanctioned country. However, the threat of...

As suggested by empirical evidence, law enforcement in one market often results in adverse effects in others. Current theoretical models are ill-suited to investigate this, because while we already know much about the optimal law enforcement for a single market or multiple but independent...

The illegalization of insider trading in most jurisdictions of the world has not received full acceptance. Whilst some legal and economic scholars are in support of the prohibition of insider trading for amounting to fraud and breach of fiduciary duties, others advocate for decriminalization of...

This paper addresses police resource allocation across multiple locations, aiming to minimize the overall cost of potential crimes. Unlike previous literature focused on reactive police tasks, we propose a proactive approach that emphasizes crime prevention through deterrence. To account for the...

The criminal legal system is at a crossroads. Calls for abolition are met with calls for modest adjustments or maintenance of the status quo. What frequently emerges from these polarities is a promise that police, prosecutors, judges, and other government actors will use their vast discretion to...
