About the Author

Dr. Jan Schwartz is President of Forensic Fraud Research, Inc., a non-profit not for fee investigative firm that formally incorporated in 2000 and became affiliated with the National White Collar Crime Center in 2003. It is comprised of skilled professionals as well as state and federal employees who, together, aspire to the purposes listed on the incorporating papers (website address: www.whitecollarcorruption.com). In 2005, the U.S. Department of Justice requested permission to videotape her presentation, "Psychology of White-Collar Criminals," for use on their Justice Television Network. Her 19 years of intelligence-gathering efforts and research while conducting semi-structured interviews with more than 250 victims, whistleblowers, alleged offenders, offenders and alleged offenders' spouses and family members, witnesses and bystanders has resulted in the identification of "The Behavioral Characteristics and Personality Traits of the White-Collar Organized Criminal and the White-Collar Organized Community."

As a forensic behavioral scientist, Dr. Schwartz has compiled data for and provided information to the HIDTA Money-Laundering Division of the FBI in Manhattan, the FBI in Washington, D.C., the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Science Foundation, the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission, the Ohio Attorney General's Office, the Ohio Governor's Office, and 19 other state departments in addition to various United States' Attorney's Offices. Writing the "Psychological Profile of a Spy (2006)" for the American Board for Certification in Homeland Security, and conducting a pilot program for the nation, "Overcoming Resistance on the Local Level (2008)" are among the details that have blended her work into the world of intelligence and homeland security.

Dr. Jan Schwartz brings to the table a wealth of experience in forensic behavioral science. She has been retained as a consultant by both public and private entities. Noted as "one of those who show high promise of significant contribution to society and progress," "Last Summer with Oscar" is her first book. Jan's fervent hope is that the information shared in Oscar's story will create new avenues of interest for research into effective treatments for dog cancer.
