      abstract = {Through analysis of data held by the National Crime Agency  on organised crime groups, and in-depth analysis of  qualitative interviews with convicted fraudsters and  enforcement professionals, this detailed study fills a  significant gap in the contemporary literature on organised  crime groups involved in fraud. Throughout the chapters,  the perspective of convicted offenders and those involved  in its policing are juxtaposed to show the ease of  committing fraud from the perspective of offenders on the  one hand, and the investigative challenges experienced by  law enforcement officers on the other. May and Bhardwa’s  insights shed light on offender motivations, routes into  fraud and organised crime, and the nature and shape of  organised crime groups and their operations. Alongside the  offender perspective the law enforcement interviews provide  a unique interpretation of the procedural and legislative  weaknesses that appear to allow this type of offender to  make considerable financial gain. The key recommendations  based on empirical findings will greatly benefit those  interested in understanding the links between fraud and  organised crime in the UK and those seeking to improve  enforcement efforts. .--},
