Paper Summary:

This paper discusses white-collar crime. The essay argues that William J. Chambliss' theories offer a useful tool to understand white collar crime as systemic rather than as the result of individual moral lapses. The paper discusses these theories in detail, such as his view that white-collar crime is a result of capitalist societies.

From the Paper:

"White Collar Crime White-collar crime is crime that is committed by corporations, or by salaried, professional individuals, or by people in business. It is non-violent, but it accounts for far greater financial losses than does street crime, and indeed is a far more serious problem. William J. Chambliss maintains that white-collar crime is a direct result of the capitalist societies in which it flourishes."
