Guidelines for Probation Officers Supervising Economic Crime
Offenders
The Economic Crime Task Force was created to promote consistent and effective
supervision of economic crime offenders. Economic crime can encompass many types
of offenses. To properly identify this population for the purpose of specialized services
the following definition was agreed upon.
Definition:
“An offender whose criminal activity is motivated by greed for the purpose of financial
gain. In the commission of the crime, while in a position of trust, the offender will have
used deviance, deceitfulness, deception, manipulation and/or grooming techniques.”
Statement of Purpose:
The Colorado State Judicial Branch, Division of Probation Services, working with the
Probation Economic Crime Task Force supports comprehensive identification,
evaluation, supervision and financial monitoring of economic crime offenders under the
supervision of probation departments throughout the state. It is believed that guidelines
are essential to accurately identify persons who should receive a more intensive level of
supervision than that afforded to regular probation cases, to reduce recidivism, recover
restitution and to minimize further victimization from financial predatory behavior.
We realize that probation departments can only adopt these guidelines to the extent that
they have resources available to do so. Even so, it is believed that the materials that are
being provided in this document give probation officers the best tools to ensure
adequate supervision for high risk economic crime offenders.
The following Supervision Guidelines, Conditions of Probation specific to the Economic
Crime Offender, and the Financial Disclosure Form will assist supervising probation
officers to improve offender accountability and promote victim and community
reparation. As stated before, it is acknowledged that not all departments have the
resources to meet all of the recommended guidelines. However, incorporating some of
these practices will increase the effectiveness of supervision compared to none at all.
Selection Criteria: It is important to differentiate the true economic crime
offender from the common criminal. The following criteria should be used to
draw that distinction.
1. Economic Crime (EC) cases are those identified by the prosecution where the
incentive for committing the crime was greed. Non-violent crimes, concentrating on
such crimes as theft, fraud, forgery, and securities crimes.
2. EC offenders exhibit predatory behavior and will often seek out relationships with
vulnerable individuals that they can easily build trust with.
3
3. These cases carry extremely high amounts of restitution; usually with several
victims. EC cases may include the offense of Occupational Fraud. This offense
involves the use of one‟s occupation for personal enrichment through the deliberate
misuse or misapplication of the employing an organization‟s resources or assets.
Examples include Asset Misappropriates, Corruption or Fraudulent Statement.
(Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, “2004 Report to the Nation of
Occupational Fraud & Abuse)
4. EC crimes may involve individual victim(s), business or affinity groups as opposed to
“governmental” crimes such as unemployment or welfare fraud. This does not rule
out the assignment of cases involving one of these entities however, concentration
will be on cases involving individual victims where the financial loss is more
damaging.
5. Offender Assessment: At this time, there is no assessment tool available to
adequately assess the true economic crime offender. An economic crime offender
may score in the medium or even the low level on the LSI. When an offender scores
high on the LSI, it is usually because they have treatment issues that must be
addressed prior to the concentration of the payment of restitution. If they score low
on the LSI, the level of supervision is over ridden to a higher level depending on the
number of risk factors that are identified that are specific to economic crime
offenders (listed in the next section). If the offender scores out maximum, all
treatment issues relating to drugs/alcohol and mental health should have been
addressed and a period of stability experienced prior to placement with an ECU
officer. If accepted for EC supervision, we then override the low score using the
following risk factors and characteristics.
Risk Factors and Common Characteristics of Economic Crime Offenders
In addition to the characteristics listed above, the following risk factors and
characteristics can be used to differentiate the EC offender from other types of
criminals.
(Obviously, the more characteristics that are identified the higher risk offender you will be working
with.)
Prior criminal history of theft, fraud, bad checks, forgery
Civil cases with unmet judgments
Prior bankruptcy or considering bankruptcy.
Defendant is unemployed
Defendant takes little or no responsibility for offense – one or more of the
following rationalizations verbalized or assessed by PO: Looking for immediate
gratification, a sense of entitlement, lying about need or finances, reports feeling
unrecognized, under appreciated or taken advantage of.
Defendant has liquidated assets prior to sentencing
Dumping assets quickly (under selling)
Late on restitution payments
Payments not being made according to payment plan
Not complying with budget – bounced checks, bank fees assessed for NSF, cash
advances on credit cards or payday loans. Living beyond their means.
4
Grooming techniques used on victims, multiple victims and/or at-risk victims
Pattern of disregard for rules/authority
Lengthy history of traffic violations
Victim stance or lack of empathy for victim
Noncompliance with tax laws.
Missed appointments
Floating checks
Cash advances from credit cards
Cash advances from paychecks
Pay day loans
Cashing out 401k, CD or other investment accounts
Dipping into savings
Looking for immediate gratification
Entitlement (I need, I deserve, I want)
Minimized offense
Feeling Unrecognized
Feeling under appreciated
Feeling taken advantage of
Borrowing money
Shoplifting
Selling food stamps
The following supervision model is driven by an offender‟s progress on
supervision rather than by a specific time frame.






Full financial investigation to include the review of all requested financial
documentation, which may include bank statements, tax returns, assets and
liabilities.
A formal case assessment must be completed with the standardized assessment
tool. Override, if necessary – see attached risk factors.

Defendant to provide budget with receipts and/or checking account statement
monthly. Goal for defendant to have a checking account and budget that meets
all financial requirements with no overdrafts.
Defendant to provide monthly verification of earnings to probation.
Defendant to complete all treatment requirements and be in compliance with
payment plan and budget.
Defendant to provide a credit report to probation annually.

Computer searches
Voluntary payroll deductions
Attachment of Earnings –up to 50% of earnings withheld
Writs of attachment (garnish bank accounts)
Lien person property
Impose late fees
Not within their budget –pay difference to restitution the following month
Evaluations (mental health)
Referrals (debtors anonymous, gamblers anonymous, budgeting classes)
Financial review
Community service
A note about incentives or rewards: Incentives or rewards can include a lessening of the
supervision requirements, possibly even doing a TSUP option to another PO for regular
supervision reporting. Intermediate Sanctions, bulleted above, elevate the supervision
requirements in some way. This population of offenders is not as easy to reward as drug and
other types of offenders might be. They are usually not in treatment or providing UA’s. If they are
being required to submit to polygraphs as a way to monitor behavior, you may be able to lessen
the frequency of polygraphs.
It is important to remember that some people respond well to incentives and others see this as a
chance to return to former behavior. Each case needs to be assessed on an individual basis. If
the economic crime offender starts doing something wrong it is often going to be running another
scam of some sort.

Common referrals may include the following
Debtor‟s Anonymous (DA) http://www.debtorsanonymous.org/

*fiduciary
A person, such as an investment manager, the executor or personal representative of an estate, a mortgage broker, a
financial planner or an employee of an organization, such as a bank, entrusted with the property of another party and in
whose best interests the fiduciary is expected to act when holding, investing, or otherwise using that party's property. The
key to determining whether an individual or an entity is a fiduciary is whether they are exercising discretion or control over
the finances, information or assets of another person or group.
