Contract cheating: causes and prevention strategies

Contract cheating refers to a variety of behaviors in which a student outsources their work or involves a third party in attempting their assignments. Over the last few years, the number of contract cheating cases at the university, nationally, and globally has increased dramatically. To help fight this malpractice, the UK government has now passed a bill making it an offence to provide or advertise cheating services to students enrolled at higher education providers in England. However, this may not be enough as most of these services are run overseas. This project's goals were to investigate various causes that lead students to access contract cheating services measures that can help the university to reduce and prevent contract cheating.
