Why is academic corruption more than meets the eye? This session will start from the U.S. case and analyse causes, operational patterns and red flags. It will continue by highlighting trends shaping the global academic fraud market and its immediate influence in areas such as terrorism, public health, immigration and executive fraud. Using one of the world’s largest datasets on this issue, it will identify corruption clusters and recommend best practices in preventing and investigating it.
