<i>’Dr. Gottschalk’s book is an excellent example of the power of case studies. Their use makes this book both informative and interesting. The entertaining format will give all readers a better understanding of white-collar criminals.’</i>
- Thomas Dearden, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, US,
Petter Gottschalk presents the structural model, which identifies convenience themes in terms of motive, opportunity and willingness, and the stage model, which assesses the maturity of completed reviews. Through empirical observations, the book illustrates key insights from investigation reports in a range of key cases, including Widecard banking in Germany and Hurtigruten Cruises in Norway.
Drawing together perspectives from criminology, sociology, psychology, management and organizational behaviour, this book is crucial reading for business school students and researchers, particularly those focusing on corporate crime. Its practical insights will also benefit fraud examiners and private investigators in both public and private organizations.
