‘White-collar’ and organisational crimes such as fraud and corruption receive relatively little attention from researchers. This edited collection redresses the balance with groundbreaking research and fresh perspectives on these crimes. A new generation of scholars investigate both new and old forms of crime such as the little-studied areas of sports fraud and the deviant subcultures within organizations that can lead to wrongdoing.

Recognising the profound harms stemming from these illicit activities, this book provides a state-of-the-art handbook for researchers and policy-makers in understanding and controlling these ever-evolving crimes.

Diana Bociga is a PhD candidate at the University of Manchester.

Jon Davies is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Manchester.
