Submission to the Review of fraud and fraud related offences - NSW Sentencing Council

The following submission is based on my collective research into fraud, which extends back to my first project in 2008. It draws largely on the direct narratives of fraud victims I have interviewed across the years, as well as my many interactions with other scholars, law enforcement, government and non-government agencies who work within the fraud space.The submission focuses on the following two questions proposed stemming from the terms of reference:• What factors should courts take into account when sentencing for fraud?• Does sentencing for fraud appropriately respond to the needs of fraud victims
