WHITE-COLLAR CRIME AND THE PUBLIC SECTOR - CHRI...

Procurement is a critical government activity  yet very little scholarly attention is devoted
to procurement fraud in public policy  public management  or public financial management
research. While many publications focus on the stages of the procurement process and
appropriate protocols to follow for successful procurements  the opportunities for exploitation
of the process have not been as widely studied. Procurement fraud is similarly understudied in
the white-collar crime literature  where attention has primarily been placed on corporate crime
or political corruption. This book extends criminal justice and white-collar crime scholarship
by using these literatures to frame public procurement fraud. Additionally  organizational
behavior approaches are applied to public procurement fraud to explain possible motivations for
this type of occupational crime. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to provide
insights into the characteristics of individuals who abuse the procurement process for personal
gain  and it offers some strategies for detecting and preventing further abuse. Original
research is also presented and compares the offender-based and offense-based characteristics of
the perpetrators of public procurement fraud with those of street and white-collar criminals.
The intention of this book is to elevate the issue of public procurement fraud and to align it
with criminal justice and white-collar crime scholarship.
