This book provides the first in-depth scholarly analysis of fraud, the highest volume crime in England and Wales, addressing the challenges faced in building a principled criminal law response by presenting an innovative normative analysis. The UK is now in a pandemic of fraud. There were 4.6 million fraud offences recorded in the year ending March 2021, accounting for 42% of all crime committed against individuals. Fraud is now the highest volume crime in England and Wales; its incidence in the first half of 2021 was described by UK Finance as a 'national security threat'. The book provides the answers to key questions, such as: - How can the rapidly changing nature of fraud be understood and mapped by criminal lawyers? - How does fraud connect to economic crime more broadly? - Is the current landscape for criminalising fraud fit for purpose, in the light of changes to the nature and complexity of wrongdoing? - What are the principled limits to using Artificial Intelligence technologies to detect and to penalise fraud? - Which principles should inform fraud criminalisation and governance following the COVID-19 pandemic, to meet the challenges of a digital age and a stretched criminal justice system?

Der Open Government-Ansatz zielt darauf ab, Verwaltungsprozesse so zu gestalten, dass externes Expertenwissen und die Kreativität der Bürger in politisch-administrative Entscheidungsfindungen einbezogen werden können. Die staatliche Überwachung sozialer Medien kann als geeignetes Instrument zur praktischen Umsetzung des Open Government-Ansatzes betrachtet werden, da soziale Medien Netzwerke sind, in denen Nutzer über politikrelevante Themen diskutieren. In diesem Zusammenhang stellt sich die Frage, ob der Staat berechtigt ist, das öffentlich zugängliche Netz zu beobachten, und wenn ja, welche Anforderungen dabei erfüllt werden müssen. Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht, eine Antwort auf diese Frage zu geben, indem der Autor sich mit dem Grundsatz der Neutralität auseinandersetzt. Gegenstand der Untersuchung ist demnach, wie die staatliche Überwachung der sozialen Medien grundrechtsneutral erfolgen kann, sowie die Frage, wie der Wettbewerb beim Zuhören die Stimme der Bürger nicht beeinträchtigt.
