Abstract
Purpose –This study aims to identify perceptions of financial crime among students in six different c ountries.
Design/methodology/approach –Survey research was conducted among students in India, Iran,
Malaysia,Norway, Romania and the USA to compare the ranking of perceptions.
Findings –The following three propositionsfor financial crime had most agreement among respondents:
lack of oversightand guardianship, legitimate access to resourcesand heroic offender status.
Research limitations/implications –Scholars involved in various countries conducted survey
research at different points in time with little knowledge of each other’s survey populations and response
rates.
Practical implications –Crime convenience and, thus, attractivenesscan be addressed by focusing on
propositionsfinding the strongest agreement in the surveys.
Social implications –Agreementand lack of agreement indicate priorities in fighting financialcrime.
Originality/value –The diversityof nations involved in survey research makes this study interesting.
