Sample idea: Supply chains
Supply chains present a good opportunity for crimes to be committed.
There are so many of them and the people involved at various
places along the chain aren't always vetted. Even if they have
a completely unblemished record, they might just be waiting for
the perfect moment to strike.
Let's take the supply of pharmaceuticals from the manufacturer
to a country doctor as an example. There are opportunities at
every stage for a drug to be switched with something more lethal,
the wrong label applied, and so on. The wrong ingredients could
be added during manufacturing, it could be put into the wrong
packaging, it could be sent to the wrong place. Presumably there's
a warehouse involved at some stage where local surgeries, hospitals
and pharmacies send their orders for new stock. They'll need
security guards, administrative staff, and so on, all of whom
might have access to the drugs, packaging or paperwork
A delivery driver could stop off somewhere and switch the boxes
around in his van, or add an extra substance that he's carrying
with him. And once he's delivered them, a rogue staff member
could switch the boxes, replace the labels, or add extra ingredients.
And then there are the doctors and nurses - several of them have
turned out to be serial killers in the real world.
That's just one supply chain for you to explore. What other
supply chains can you think of, and what scope is there for crime?
How about the supply of money to banks and ATMs, the collection
of money from companies, postal deliveries, the food chain, and
so on?
