DRAWING ON A NUMBER OF EXAMPLES, THIS ARTICLE CONSIDERS A VARIETY OF ECONOMIC OFFENSES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY POLICE IN ATTEMPTING TO CONTROL THIS FORM OF CRIME IN WEST GERMANY.
Abstract
THE AUTHOR STRESSES THE FLEXIBILITY WITH WHICH ILLEGAL BUSINESSMEN CAN ACT EITHER CHANGING THEIR TECHNIQUES WHEN NECESSARY OR ON OCCASION, THEIR FIELD OF ACTION. THE AUTHOR ARGUES FOR NEW LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD PERMIT BETTER INTER-REGIONAL COORDINATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS AND FOR THE TRAINING OF SPECIAL POLICE UNITS IN SKILLS THAT CAN EFFECTIVELY COPE WITH ECONOMIC CRIME. --IN GERMAN
