Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to examine the “effectiveness” of the Cyprus police in investigating credit card fraud. Design/methodology/approach - In total, 19 semi‐structured interviews with key criminal justice personnel were undertaken to assess the current capacity of police in investigating credit card fraud. Findings - The paper discovers that a far more co‐ordinated approach is needed to tackle credit card fraud in Cyprus, with a lack of specialised knowledge of fraud a major concern. Research limitations/implications - All interview schedules were sent before the interviews took place and three of the respondents provided written responses only. Originality/value - This is the first study of its kind that involved primary research interviewing 19 key personnel involved in policing credit card fraud in Cyprus.
