A case of arrested development? Delivering the UK National Fraud Strategy within competing policing policy priorities

Public Money & Management, 2013, vol. 33, issue 2, 145-152

Abstract: The UK government has been developing strategy on fraud since 2006 looking at its cost to the nation, as well as its presence in many other areas of criminality, from identity theft to organized crime. This article focuses on the police dimension of the UK's fraud strategy, and its assimilation and implementation in the context of other policies and priorities. To avoid being arrested before it achieves anything, the fresh impetus sought by the last of the strategy reviews must take account of the ‘facts on the ground’, such as diminished police fraud investigation resources resulting from financial cutbacks and other, competing, priorities for these reduced resources.
