It looks at how, in Australia, most of these crimes correspond to fraud, which greatly affects the Australian economy, causing integrity issues in the Australian market. It also discusses how, with the continuous developments in today's technology, white-collar crimes are significantly influenced and how new state-of-the-art technologies provide white-collar offenders with more opportunities and domains to pursue illegal acts.

From the Paper:

"An example of an occupational crime is a "computer crime". Due to advancements in today's technology, computer crimes burden many of today's business organizations and companies. Computer crimes such as unauthorized access to systems, sabotage of system securities, and credit card theft are some of which that entail technical knowledge in computers. Hence, the offense is classified as an occupational crime. According to the 2002 survey jointly conducted by AusCERT, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and NSW Police, there is an increasing rate of computer crimes in Australia. Compared to the computer crime rate in 1999, 2002 showed a 100% increase."
