Economic crime report 2004 - Ekobrottsmyndigheten

Reported economic crimes have increased over the past three years. Since so many cases go
unreported, it is difficult to draw any reliable conclusions about crime trends. Most probably
no significant increase or decrease has occurred.
During the next three years, agencies must continue to expand their collaboration and
jointly develop new methods for combating economic crime in a more effective manner.
The aim must be to put together a fundamental prevention effort aimed at reducing crime
over the long run. That will be accomplished by performing strategic reviews and in-depth
analyses designed to make the operations of the agencies more efficient. The ultimate
objective is to enhance crime reduction initiatives both quantitatively and qualitatively
while focusing investigation and prosecution activities on the most serious types of crimes.
