Topics:

CYBER CRISIS: ISSUES OF CONCERN
Security overview; new technologies; new threats; case studies of past breaches (including Target)
CRIMES OF SPECIALIZED ACCESS
Crimes of specialized access represent one of four ways an offender can get to a target to commit a crime. This conceptualizes white-collar crime as part of larger routine activity theory, which thinks about how offenders use routine activities to embed illegal activities. Several categories of specialized access are diagramed. Not all of them are financial in nature, since certain types of sexual abuse and harassment also take advantage of specialized access.
Ethics and the Mindset of the Fraudster
Fraud and ethics are inextricably linked. In this case that means fraudsters usually display a lack of ethics in some form or other. Listening to the very words of convicted fraudsters helps to understand the mindset that ends in committing some form of fraudulent act. In this session you will hear from both subject matter experts and white collar criminals who will discuss where and in some cases why they made the poor ethical choice which cost them their careers and changed them forever.
