The crime problem for business is first discussed, and inadequacies in both present business management and the criminal justice system are pointed out. The projects, seven demonstration and eight research, are then divided into three categories: defensive tactics by business, deterrence, and understanding and reducing criminal motivation. The projects were developed from interviews with judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers, and a literature search. Target crimes for the projects were chosen for their high priority to businessmen, their amenability to solutions which can be measured for success, and for their effect on society, and on small and large businesses of all types. The crimes targeted are: employee pilfering; commercial bribery; securities theft, fraud, or embezzlement; burglary; vandalism; shoplifting; insurance fraud by arson; check fraud; credit card fraud; and fencing. The demonstration projects fall into five categories: training programs for commercial management, establishment of economic crime law enforcement units and training programs; establishment of arson task forces and training programs; education for the judiciary in economic crime; and attitude changing programs for juveniles to reduce vandalism and shoplifting. Research projects need to study the social costs of nonviolent business crime, computers and crime, and statutes and sentencing. Special shoplifting courts, improved anticrime management techniques, (national data bases and an economic crime institute), and improved criminal justice system and business cooperation are also needed. Footnotes, tables, and charts are included.
