The UK is now in a pandemic of fraud. There were 4.6 million fraud offences recorded in the year ending March 2021, accounting for 42% of all crime committed against individuals.  Fraud is now the highest volume crime in England and Wales; its incidence in the first half of 2021 was described by UK Finance as a `national security threat'.   The book provides the answers to key questions, such as: - How can the rapidly changing nature of fraud be understood and mapped by criminal lawyers?  - How does fraud connect to economic crime more broadly?  - Is the current landscape for criminalising fraud fit for purpose, in the light of changes to the nature and complexity of wrongdoing?  - What are the principled limits to using Artificial Intelligence technologies to detect and to penalise fraud?  - Which principles should inform fraud criminalisation and governance following the COVID-19 pandemic, to meet the challenges of a digital age and a stretched criminal justice system? \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368948478325,"sku":"9781509962389","price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781509962389.jpg?v=1763551468","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781509962389","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
