Innovations in Cryptocrime and Financial Fraud

Advancements in digital technology, such as cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and financial technology, are transforming not only legitimate economies but also the methods and scope of criminal activity. Blockchain, decentralized finance, and virtual platforms are increasingly exploited for organized crime, money laundering, fraud, and large-scale scams, often spanning international borders. These developments challenge existing legal, regulatory, and law enforcement frameworks, demanding rapid adaptation to address complex, technology-driven threats. Understanding these intersections of crime, technology, and finance is critical to safeguarding economic integrity, public trust, and global security. Innovations in Cryptocrime and Financial Fraud presents a range of perspectives on the intersections of crime, technology, security, and finance. It offers a timely and insightful analysis of how digital platforms and cryptocurrency are creating new avenues for criminal activity. Covering topics such as augmented reality, deepfakes, and smuggling networks, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, academicians, law enforcement, criminologists, and more.
