Fraud is often mistakenly treated as a homogeneous phenomenon, whereas it actually consists of many different stocks and flows of activities and our responses to them. Drawing on work conducted for the British Academy, Economic and Social Research Council and the Australian Institute of Criminology, Professor Mike Levi from Cardiff University examines the evidence on changes in fraud during pandemics and economic crises since Spanish Flu; whether there is good evidence that frauds were particularly impacted by the covid-19 pandemic, either positively or negatively; and what lessons can be learned for our responses to frauds of different types.
