Alice Taylor writes about the human impact of financial crime and the systems designed to prevent it, with a particular focus on how we treat victims of fraud. Her work challenges assumptions about personal responsibility, exposing how industrialised scams and sophisticated criminal methods can trap even the most cautious people.

By examining the language, policies and attitudes surrounding fraud prevention, Alice highlights how victim-blaming undermines both justice and effective protection. Readers exploring her stories will gain insight into why a mindset shift is needed across banks, regulators and the wider public, and what a more compassionate, fair and practical response to fraud could look like.
