Public procurement fraud is an important yet under-studied topic in the fields of public administration and criminal justice. While procurement is regarded as a critical and often strategic government activity, the majority of public administration programs throughout the country and beyond offer little to no instruction on conducting successful and ethical procure-ments. The financial and social costs of fraudulent procurement practices tarnish the reputations of public servants and contribute to a perception of government as corrupt and self-serving; this is unfair and likely inaccu-rate, as the majority of public procurement professionals are true stewards of both public funds and public trust. Without sufficient scrutiny of the prevalence and cases of public procurement fraud, anecdotal evidence is accepted as true and representative of practice. Only through increased attention to and study of public procurement and public procurement fraud can faith in our public servants and institutions be restored.
