Who/what is the fraud?[edit]

AFAICS, in his book (Google books excerpt) Black refers to "a control fraud" as a person. S/he is a fraud who misuses her/his position of control. In the article here, "fraud" refers to the crime, not to the person. Looks to me like a misrepresentation. --Hordaland (talk) 04:39, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AFAICT from the google preview he seems to use the term both ways, as an extension of 'fraud'. A fraud is both a person and an activity, and 'control fraud' is used similarly. Where he talks about control fraud's it seems he usually means the people, but when he talks about:

This maximised the incentive to engage in reactive control fraud...

then he's obviously for me talking about the activity/crime.Rememberway (talk) 12:27, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
