Abstract: Abstract Tendencies for fraud and corruption are not visible on a potential perpetrators face. That is why exposing white-collar crimes requires more empathy than one would think. Former police chief inspector Heissner explains perpetrators typologies, clues and characteristics that can help predict white-collar crimes—because the perpetrators are always human and as such it is vital to understand human behavior. Especially dilemma-situations and negative psychological spirals deserve extra attention, with reality proving that additional cover ups can exacerbate petty offenses and multiply the amount of potential damages dramatically.
