Crime in organizations, as in other human societies, can never be totally eradicated.

Discovery of occupational crime is often accidental, and occurs only after the damage has already been done.

In every organization frustrated and stressed employees are prepared to break the rules and take their fate into their own hands.

Past employment records can help in predicting the future behavior of an employee.

Internal counter-corruption measures in organizations are hampered by concerns about ill reputation and legal exposure.

The bigger the organization, the slower it is to take action against internal felonies.

Claims against crooked employees are too often settled out of court. This eliminates effective deterrent of other workers.

Crime in organizations has typical characteristics, the most significant of which is high accessibility of the perpetrator to the scene of the crime.

Precisely for that reason, it is easier, cheaper and more effective to reduce crime in organizations by using pre and post employment screening.

THE GOLDEN RULE:

BETTER SAVE A CRIME
THAN PUNISH ONE!
