This book is organised around five studies that explore the following questions: What were the economic, social and political factors that led to the emergence of the 1996 Action Plan against economic crime in Finland; How do the processes, in which law, ideology and pragmatics are present, reproduce and reinforce the problems of economic crime control; What are the particularities of economic crime investigation and what is the position of economic crime investigators within the police organisation and culture; How did the levels of support for, and interest in, economic crime control change within Finland in the 1990s; What are the dangers and advantages of advocating greater criminalisation of economic crime? Central to the methodology of the research is an analysis of the borders of criminalisation through a focus upon a multiplicity of actors, practices and processes. The summary of the five studies seeks to produce an analysis that integrates the macro and the micro levels of criminal justice, a task often urged, but rarely attempted, with respect to economic crime
