Tracking Economic Crime Investigation and Corruption-related Crime in Finland

The project consists of two sub-projects. The Economic Crime Investigation in 2015 sub-project involves repeating a survey conducted among the police’s economic crime investigators in 2011. The survey aims to compile information on investigative personnel, the investigation process, and investigative cooperation. The Corruption Crime in Finland in 2011–2014 sub-project involves repeating a longitudinal study into corruption-related crime in police records from 2007–2010. The study focuses on offenses reported to the police that are believed to involve corruption, i.e. the abuse of entrusted power for private gain.
