Database Provides a Foundation for Product Counterfeiting Research”

 

WASHINGTON – The Office of Justice Programs’ National Institute of Justice today published an article about a new database that will serve as a first step to a better understanding of pharmaceutical, electronic and food counterfeiting crimes. Counterfeit products not only cause financial damages, they also threaten public health and safety. The database will help researchers develop an empirical foundation and evidence-driven baseline for future counterfeiting analyses, as well as training for law enforcement agencies on preventing, detecting, investigating and responding to product counterfeiting.

           The research described in this article was funded by NIJ through a grant awarded to Michigan State University. This article is based on the grantee final report Systematic Analysis of Product Counterfeiting Schemes, Offenders, and Victims in the United States (October 2019), by Brandon A. Sullivan.
