The system analyzed consisted of all organizations -- public, private, and forms of cooperation between the two -- that have dealt with prevention and/or repression of capital investment fraud; the critique of this system was a secondary study objective. Throughout the process of collecting data and information, researchers found there was very little quantitative data on capital investment fraud in the Netherlands, and it was impossible to determine the reliability of the small amount of quantitative data that were available. The study, therefore, relied on qualitative data obtained through semi-structured interviews with representatives of the organizations within the field of research. The first part of this report consists of two chapters that profile the social framework associated with capital investment fraud, so as to provide a better understanding of this type of crime. One of the chapters views capital investment fraud as a social phenomenon, discussing the parties involved in the criminal offense itself and the effect that this type of crime has on society. The second chapter in this first part of the report briefly discusses the legal framework that pertains to capital investment fraud. The second part of this report is composed of two chapters that analyze the Dutch system for preventing and repressing capital investment fraud. One of the chapters profiles the structure and activities of each of the Dutch organizations involved in efforts to prevent and counter capital investment fraud. The concluding chapter reviews the developments projected for the system in the near future. Appended supplementary information, a 18-item bibliography, and a listing of 10 Internet sources
