A Distinct Phenomenon in Poland
Financial crime is often viewed as a necessary evil or even something to be admired for its resourcefulness. However, according to Superintendent Trawinski, it is a distinct phenomenon in Poland that requires collaboration between academics from different backgrounds and disciplines to research effectively.
