Briefing 1: Organised fraud in local communities

This briefing brings together key evidence on organised fraud from the Reducing the impact of serious organised crime in local communities project by the Police Foundation and Perpetuity Research.

The Foundation and Perpetuity Research have attempted for the first time to measure the scale, nature and impact of organised fraud on local communities and assess the response from the police and other agencies. The briefing concludes with a number of recommendations based on the implications of the findings.
