'This theoretical reference frame is an important prerequisite for enlightened discussions and reflections. This book contains important findings about methods to combat financial crime and can support police organizations and relevant authorities aiming to prevent this type of crime.' - Dr. Stefan Holgersson, Växjö University, Sweden. 'The book provides a unique insight into the practice and investigation of financially motivated crime. First a comprehensive overview of different types of financial crime in the context of knowledge management is provided, offering a unique perspective on the adoption of strategies to prevent such crime as well as investigative techniques that might be employed to combat financial criminal activity.
