当我们开始规划这一问题时，我们很清楚，对预防和调查欺诈行为的反应，特别是警方的反应，是令人关切的问题。从我们长期从事欺诈研究的经验中，我们也意识到，这些批评以及为确保连贯和战略性的反应所做的努力都远非新鲜事。因此，我们对2019年8月《泰晤士报》关于“欺诈行动”失败的文章（以及此后偶尔的后续报道）并不感到惊讶，这是继2006年欺诈审查之后，英国希望比过去更连贯地解决欺诈问题的核心变化之一。这次审查的目的是从战略上调整国家反欺诈对策的重点，其中许多变化是2008年国家反欺诈战略的一部分。在2011年重新审视这一战略时，英国皇家警察和消防救援服务监察局称之为“被遗忘”，因为它警告说，“必须做出选择”。政府和警察部队的领导人可以继续以不一致的方式应对欺诈.或者他们可以采取行动，确保有一个更明确的战略，减少部队之间的服务差异，并与公众进行更好的沟通“（HMICFRS，2019年，第5页）。同样，很少或根本没有提到以前的努力发生了什么，如2015年国家警察欺诈和国家警察欺诈“保护”战略草案（我们想知道谁可能记得其中任何一个，更不用说两者了？）。然而，在积极的方面，我们注意到，有迹象表明，在处理某些形式的金融犯罪方面，活动有所增加。2020年2月，地方当局反欺诈战略的第三次迭代，
When we began planning this issue, we were well aware that the responses to the prevention and investigation of fraud, particularly by the police, were the subject of concern. From our long engagement in researching fraud, we were also aware that both the criticisms, and efforts to secure a coherent and strategic response, were far from new. Thus we were not surprised by The Times articles in August 2019 (and occasional follow-ups thereafter) on the alleged failings of Action Fraud, one of core planks of the changes in how the UK wished to address fraud more coherently than in the past, that followed the 2006 Fraud Review. This Review was intended to strategically refocus the national response to fraud, and many of the changes were part of the 2008 national fraud strategy. Revisited in 2011, this strategy was described as ‘forgotten’by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services as it warned that ‘there is a choice to be made. Leaders in government and police forces can either continue to respond to fraud in an inconsistent manner… or they can act to ensure that there is a clearer strategy, less variation in service between forces and better communication with the public’(HMICFRS, 2019, p. 5). Similarly, little or no mention has been made of what happened to previous efforts such as the draft 2015 National Policing Fraud and National Policing Fraud ‘Protect’strategies (and we wonder who may remember either, let alone both?). On a positive note, however, we note that there are signs of greater activity in dealing with some forms of financial crime. In February 2020, the third iteration of the local authority counter-fraud strategy, Fighting
