Abstract: This thesis comprehensively examines the policing of economic crime by Australian private investigators. The findings identify that the services afford clients a level of discretion and autonomy not found within the justice system, which is now provided by investigators who are qualified and who utilise the skills of a corporate investigator, an accountant and a lawyer. The thesis considers the competing professions within economic crime and examines the regulatory issues and challenges these present. It makes an original and substantial contribution to the knowledge of private policing by identifying the changing environment in which private investigators operate in Australia.
