How can understanding the key roles of professional enablers in the corruption space enhance our enforcement and regulatory responses?
Background
It is crucial to understand how to maximise the effectiveness of approaches to disrupting
economic crime, ensuring law enforcement activity is best targeted. This could include a
range of activities such as: improving identification of criminal activity, best use of
prosecutions and convictions, and the recovery of criminal assets. In addition, it is important
that we adapt to changes and innovations in technology that might help to inform our
response. The following research questions summarise some of the key evidence gaps on
enforcement. These questions also link very closely to the following section on evaluation,
which focuses on understanding the impact of our interventions.
