- Title
BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHER: THE DANGERS OF AFFINITY FRAUD.
- Authors
Perri, Frank S.; Brody, Richard G.
- Abstract
The authors discuss the concept of affinity fraud, the ease with which it is perpetrated, and the difficulty fraud victims encounter in reconciling the "special trust" they believe they shared with this white-collar criminal. Additionally, the paper challenges misconceptions as to the homogenous criminal nature of white-collar criminals as it relates to (1) the behavioral factors that facilitate these offenders in committing affinity fraud, and (2) the motivation for these offenders to resort to violence, and makes recommendations on what individuals can do to protect themselves from the allure of affinity fraud.
