The Scottish Business Crime Centre is a non-profit making organisation created in 1996 under the Business Crime Reduction Strategy for Scotland, to establish a unique partnership approach between the Police, business community and Government.
The main function of the Centre is to provide practical advice to the business/commercial sectors on how to develop business crime reduction and prevention strategies. We aim to reduce business crime using a number of measures:
-
promoting specific initiatives within industry sectors and community groups
-
sharing good practice approaches to business related crime prevention
-
raising awareness of the level, impact and cost of business crime
-
creating and supporting a network of relevant partnerships and programmes
|
'Our mission is to reduce business crime in Scotland to create a safe and secure trading environment in which businesses and communities flourish, employment opportunities are developed and prosperity is encouraged'

The Office of Fair Trading is warning people that the summer is an opportune time for rogue traders. Last year, advice service Consumer Direct received more than 5,300 complaints about traders offering home maintenance work on the doorstep, a 16 per cent rise from the previous year, with complaints peaking in the summer months from July through to the autumn.
Supported by several high profile stars, including Esther Rantzen, the OFT is driving an awareness campaign urging householders to be cautious and take time to think about people who call at the door.
The campaign is to help people recognise the warning signs. Full details of the campaign can be found on our 'Latest News' page.
