Masters of Deception

Autor Louis R Mizell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 1996

Experiența autorului L Mizell în prima linie a serviciilor de informații și ca fost agent special oferă volumului Masters of Deception – The World Wide Whitecollar Crime Crisis & Ways to Protect Yourself o autoritate incontestabilă. Publicată de Wiley, această lucrare nu se limitează la teorie, ci extrage lecții vitale din confruntările directe ale autorului cu infractori care folosesc tastatura sau stiloul mai eficient decât ar face-o un atacator cu o armă. Remarcăm o structură analitică riguroasă, unde criminalitatea gulerelor albe este demascată ca o epidemie ce extrage anual peste 300 de miliarde de dolari din economia globală. Cititorul va învăța să identifice semnele timpurii ale înșelăciunii în domenii unde încrederea este implicită: medicină, drept, educație și chiar organizații caritabile. Credem că valoarea majoră a cărții rezidă în prezentarea detaliată a „modus operandi” pentru sute de cazuri reale. Autorul demonstrează că aceste fraude nu sunt fără victime; dimpotrivă, ele pot cauza daune fizice și financiare iremediabile. Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Introduction to Corporate and White-Collar Crime de Frank J. DiMarino va găsi aici instrumentele pragmatice necesare pentru a trece de la înțelegerea fenomenului la protecția activă. În timp ce volumul lui DiMarino oferă contextul academic, Mizell livrează manualul de supraviețuire, oferind tactici de autoapărare și resurse concrete pentru raportarea abuzurilor. De asemenea, spre deosebire de abordarea teoretică din The Oxford Handbook of White-Collar Crime, această lucrare pune accentul pe acțiunea imediată și pe identificarea tendințelor emergente în economia globală.

Descriere scurtă

"White-collar criminals continue to pick our pockets to the tune of $300 billion every year. These 'socially acceptable' criminals rob more from companies and individuals with a pen or key stroke than a street thug can plunder with a high-powered pistol." --from the Introduction In Masters of Deception, former special agent and intelligence officer Louis Mizell addresses the growing problem of white-collar crime in America. Using actual cases, Mizell exposes scores of perpetrators and their modus operandi, and offers invaluable advice on what to look for, how to avoid being a victim, and how to fight back.
Praise for Louis Mizell and Masters of Deception
"Mizell stands out as a true expert in crime and terrorism who earned his title fighting the bad guys in back alleys, courts, corporate suites, and the new global economy. No one else out there can match his knowledge of what the bad guys are doing and how." --James Grady, author of Six Days of the Condor and White Flame
"Masters of Deception exposes little known facts that should be revealed to the unsuspecting public. Mizell may well be the next Ralph Nader in exposing the many ways innocent people are victimized by white-collar crime." --Dr. Richard Ward, Associate Chancellor and Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Chicago at Illinois
White-collar crime is an alarming epidemic that has reached every big city and small town in America. Invading all sectors, from health care and religion to law and education, it claims millions of victims, and bilks taxpayers out of billions of dollars every year. In Masters of Deception, top crime expert Louis Mizell addresses this serious--and costly--problem, exposing some of the most notorious offenders, and providing precautionary measures everyone should take to avoid being "taken to the cleaners."
Leaving no get-rich-quick stone unturned, white-collar criminals strike from every angle. Whether they're doctors overbilling patients, charity workers pocketing donations, or lawyers abusing powers of attorney, their fraudulent practices cost individuals, companies, and institutions billions of dollars. Consider the following:
  • Every year an average of $160 million is stolen or embezzled from schools and colleges all over the country
  • Insurance fraud--property, casualty, and health--is a $95 billion-a-year scam
  • Credit card fraud costs taxpayers nearly $3 billion per year
  • Dishonest lawyers pocket more than $14 billion annually
  • More than $21 billion is being stolen from charities each year
In Masters of Deception, Mizell explores the full spectrum of white-collar crime and the misuse of power by professionals we trust, including health care, business, education, and religion. He reveals hundreds of actual cases, from local crimes to such highly publicized incidents as the PTL scandal. With his experienced analytical eye, Mizell is able to spot new and emerging trends and pinpoint signs to look for in identifying potential cons. Sharing his expertise and insight as a former special agent and intelligence officer, Mizell also offers proven tips for fighting back--specific to each sector--as well as an extensive list of contacts for receiving further information, getting help, or reporting a crime.
And anyone who believes that white- collar crime is nonviolent will be shocked to learn that crime in the suites causes as much death and injury as crime in the streets.
Masters of Deception is a timely and authoritative book that will not only raise awareness about white-collar crime, but also allow readers "to empower themselves with enough knowledge to never be a victim."
