Investigating Fraud and Corruption: Characteristics of White-Collar Criminals by Petter Gottschalk in JFSCI- Juniper Publishers
Criminal investigation is an applied science that involves the study of facts, used to identify, locate and prove the guilt or innocence of an individual suspected of white-collar crime. A complete criminal investigation can include searching, interviewing, collecting and preserving. Interviewing is one form of communication used extensively in investigations. Whether used to screen individuals, to elicit information from a witness to an incident, or to obtain a confession, a good interview can have a significant impact on the progress of an investigation. Criminal investigators are supposed to utilize innovative techniques and technological resources to find relevant facts as close as possible to the truth and present them in an objective way. The most economically disadvantaged members of society are not the only ones committing crime. Members of the privileged socioeconomic class are also engaged in criminal behavior. The types of crime may differ from those of the lower classes, such as business executives bribing public officials to achieve contracts, chief accountants manipulating balance sheets to avoid taxes, and procurement managers approving fake invoices for personal gain.
