Fraud is big business and it rots the fabric of finance and accountancy, as it is exercised by all day trading of bonds, junk bonds, loans. Twenty-five years ago, fraud was said to be rapidly expanding and manifests itself by shady deals, fraudulently converted cash. Fraudsters who are active, especially electronic fraud, do in fact treat the use of fraud as serious "business" and the execution of frauds as "work," much as other criminals treat their activities as their "job" Identity theft poses a frightening threat of being taken in by crooks. If twenty-five years ago it was estimated that...

This is Book Two ("Fraud and the Serious Fraud Office") in the series 'Fraud Law', following Book One ("Serious Fraud and Current Issues"), and deals with legal issues such as the right to silence of a suspect. The law of Germany, France and New York and Illinois is discussed and compared with English law to give a good perspective of fraud in the developed world.

The very fact that the series consists of five volumes speaks for itself that fraud is a huge problem and seems to have become accepted as part of our culture, with roots of fraudulent behaviour running deep into the fabric of...

This book is NOT a business manual. It is NOT a law textbook for students grappling with examinations on the subject, although it adequately fits that description; rather, it is for general public readership: it has been written in a readable style, by passing pomp and jargon. In this...

This "FRAUD LAW BOOK FIVE" is a compilation of articles illustrating the diverse areas in which serious fraud occurs, areas such as accountancy frauds, music piracy, internet fraud and identity fraud. In music piracy, for example, the issue is that of the protection of property rights yet still ensuring the free circulation of goods bought in good faith. It remains to be seen whether the UK Fraud Act 2006, passed in November 2006, will deliver and combat fraud.

The right to privacy, or the right to private life, is at the heart of individual freedom and the right to be free from arbitrary government interference. The United Kingdom, although part of the European Union, has privacy issues unlike EU member states of Germany and France, for example, and yet the UK Press has much more freedom compared to the ordinary citizen.
