Reviews
'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)
