To determine
The characteristics of people who commit fraud
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Intense research on fraud proved that anyone can commit fraud. It is not possible to distinguish fraud perpetrators on the basis of demographic or psychological characteristics.
Research has proven that there are no similarities between criminals and fraud perpetrators. Fraud perpetrators were less likely to get caught, arrested, and convicted compared to other prisoners. The chances of women criminals are 2% but women as fraud perpetrators is 30%. Fraud perpetrators are more educated, more religious, and may not possess any criminal record.
People involved in fraud are usually normal people who have compromised their integrity.
