Most crimes are committed on an impulse. However, fraud is frequently premeditated and perpetrated over a long period of time. For this reason, fraud is generally said to require an offender who is able to rationalise their misconduct. Clinton Free has interviewed hundreds of fraud offenders in prisons across Australia and the U.S.A. to understand the way that offenders rationalise their misconduct. Join Clinton as he discussed how we can learn from, and potentially prevent, this crime.
