Abstract
Police and other investigative bodies dealing with economic crimes need special knowledge of economics, business administration, and the tactical methods employed by perpetrators of economic crimes to be able to establish and assess the evidence necessary for securing a conviction. The criminal police have tried to meet these requirements through the following organizational measures by:
-
Setting up specialized police units with central areas of jurisdiction
-
Setting up an exchange of news and information on economic crime between the criminal authorities
-
Providing initial and in-service training for police dealing with economic crime
-
Hiring auditors and other experts with business training.
