Abstract

This chapter focuses on the detection of crime in terms of its effect on compliance. White-collar crime characteristics and typologies of offending from recurrent practices are determined, before the consideration of organizational crime detection functions. Private and public organizational practice is evaluated to reveal the implementation of various compliance measures to detect misconduct and crime in the upper echelon of the business, introducing transparent oversight and strong guardianship methodologies, introducing interpretive flags for compliance officers, control executives, and auditors, including the established use of crime detection by whistleblowing. The authors then focus on empirical crime signal detections providing an original close analysis of crime detection sources in Norway, before highlighting the relevant characteristics of crime signal detection in the wider context; concluding with an exploration of crime convenience toward detection and a sequential case study of the Betanien Foundation case from detection via investigation to conviction.
