Abstract
This paper discusses how the existing stereotype of a white-collar offender as a high-ranking executive may be flawed. The demographics of white-collar offenders suggest most of them are middle-class white males. It looks at the theories as to why such people would commit these crimes and explains that most theories center on the rational-choice decision making process because of the protracted and diligent nature of white-collar crimes. It further discusses how, within the white-collar inmate community, there also appear to be two separate pathways to white-collar crime: one marked by previous run-ins with the law before turning to white-collar crime, and the other one marked by no run-ins with the law.
From the Paper
"White-collar crime has gained increased notoriety in recent years with the downfall of Enron, WorldCom, and insider trading by Martha Stewart. Despite its increased awareness in the public, its etiology is not well known. One of the main reasons for criminologists' naivete regarding white-collar crime is the lack of scientific research on the topic. The relative lack of data arises from an array of political, sociological, penological, and funding issues. The data that is available to researchers indicates that the existing stereotype of white-collar crime offenders is flawed."

Abstract
This paper explains that white-collar crime has the potential to cause billions of dollars in losses to both corporations and individuals; as businesses go bankrupt because of illegitimate operations practices, individuals suffer economic losses that have the potential to be devastating. The author points out that, motivated primarily by financial gain, white-collar offenders have become increasingly savvy, thanks to the internet and other avenues, which allow acquisition of otherwise private information. The paper relates that legislation which includes lengthening jail terms for offenders has been enacted in an effort to deter white-collar criminals; however, many people suggest that longer jail terms are not enough to deter criminals, and instead, imposing larger severe fines is the best way to deter and prevent future activity.

From the Paper
"What is white-collar crime? The term, coined in 1939 defines crime as "crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." White-collar crime is usually associated with criminal activity that is non-violent. The motivation is usually financial gain. White-collar offenders usually 'scam' or deceptively acquire finances through corporations or by obtaining the personal financing material of individuals. Common white-collar offenses according to the Legal Information Institute at Cornell University include: Anti-trust violations, computer/internet fraud, credit card fraud, phone/telemarketing, bankruptcy fraud, financial fraud, tax evasion, insider trading, bribery, money laundering and embezzlement among others."

Abstract
This paper presents examples of white collar crime in the US such as the Enron scandal and Dennis Levine, as well as many less-known incidents. Contained in the paper are descriptions of studies done on the subject and includes discussion on the founder of the National White Collar Crime Center, Edwin Sutherland, who also coined the term "white collar crime." The paper includes statistics on the effects of, loss from, punishment for, and incidents of white collar crime in several different areas. It also includes many citations and explanations on the type of punishment received by white collar criminals.
From the Paper
"Two other large names associated with white collar and corporate crime are Dennis Levine and Michael Milken. They were involved in the notorious insider trading scandal of the 1980's. As executives of the Wall Street firm Drexel Burnham Lambert, Levine and Milken had access to information about company mergers and future changes in stock prices before it was released to the public. Trading on this information is highly advantageous, but illegal. After agreeing to a plea bargain, Levine served a two-year sentence at a minimum security prison and paid $11.6 million in restitution and fines, although in his book Inside Out, Levine contests that his profits were only $10.6 million."

White Collar Crime, 2007.
An analysis of the reasons for the escalation of white collar crime in corporate society.

Abstract
This paper examines the phenomenon of escalating white-collar crime in corporate society. The paper defines white collar crime and then analyzes the reasons for its escalation. It argues that the reasons for this escalation go right to the root of the nature and values of our society, which in turn are reflected in our legal system. Finally, the paper looks at the ineffective nature of punishments for white collar crime.
From the Paper
"Thus, we see that one reason for the escalation of white-collar crime is that the legal system does not punish such crimes effectively, and that this is turn reflects our social values, which basically value property more than people. This tends to encourage white-collar crime. Another reason is that corporations have no moral or legal duties except to their shareholders - so that killing people can sometimes be seen as justified. All in all, it seems that the rise in white-collar crime is linked to the materialist, consumerist nature of our society, which is reflected in our legal systems."

From the Paper
"The number of victims, including crimes with high shareholder losses, is closely related to how offenders are sentenced; perceived intent and responsibility of shareholders frequently plays out dramatically in the media. Media attention may be the cause or the result of stricter punishments for crimes with multiple victims. Despite a few of these high profile cases, including large media frenzies like Enron, white-colar crime is Weissmann and Block (2007) report found that the average federal sentence for fraud in 2005 was a relatively slim 23.6 months in prison."

Abstract
The paper offers a definition of white collar crime and identifies the often neglected victims. The paper looks at the argument that deregulation of the business sector is a good thing even in the face of numerous allegations of corporate fraud and embezzlement. The paper discusses how the American system is not perfect, but maintains that it ultimately falls to companies to enforce their own moral codes and business protocols. The paper further contends that it is the responsibility of share-holders to ask tough questions, to exercise caution and prudence and to educate themselves on the business situation confronting them.

And Still, a Defense of Deregulation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"White collar crime emerged as a conspicuous problem in American society right around the same time as the heady, materialistic culture of the 1980s reached its height - or nadir, as the case may be. To wit, while always a part of the American business landscape (at least during the first four decades of the twentieth century, but surely earlier) white collar crime veritably exploded in the 1980s with the huge savings and loans scandals that rocked Wall Street. In this decade, the 2000s, the government has belatedly responded to the most recent rash of white collar crimes by passing a number of laws intended to curb corporate wrong-doing. Unfortunately, it is still too soon to ascertain whether or not these measures are actually working to reduce white collar crime - or simply producing more bureaucratic entanglements (for a broad discussion on all of this, please see Feeley, 2006)."

White Collar Crime, 2007.
An analysis of the accountability and government regulations of white collar crime in the United States.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the limited accountability of private institutions for white-collar crimes in the United States. It provides a detailed explanation of the legal limitations in regards to private sector companies and why legal accountability is often restricted due to a lack of "transparency" in white-collar crime. The paper specifically discusses the lack of criminal accountability in regards to government deregulation and white-collar identity in America.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, this study has analyzed the various aspects of lack of criminal accountability in regards to government deregulation and white-collar identity in America. By realizing the scope of governmental and corporate collusion in deregulating laws that make corporations accountable for white-collar crime, the identities of those responsible are often abstracted by the private business institutions and legal ambiguities they represent. Furthermore, the perception the immaterial nature of items being stolen from companies also plays a part in decreasing the liability for corporate elites to be prosecuted in a court of law. These are the various aspects of a lack of corporate accountability that is a major problem for interpreting white-collar crimes and those legal issues that prevent individuals to be prosecuted within American business organizations."

White-Collar Crime, 2005.
A discussion on white-collar crime, particularly the views of William J. Chambliss.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 3 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
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."

Abstract
This paper examines how white-collar crime is generally classified into forms of offenses, namely, corporate crime, occupational crime, and organized crime. 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."

White Collar Crime Theories, 2002.
An examination of the phenomena of white-collar crimes and theories of social deviance.

Abstract
This research examines Michael Milken's white-collar crimes and corporate deviance in terms of sociologist Robert K. Merton's theory of deviance. The research sets forth the context in which Milken's behavior patterns lend themselves to analysis from Merton's perspective and then discusses how shifts in Milken's behavior since the exposure of his white-collar crime can be explained by Merton's views.
From the Paper
"Merton's conception of deviance is structured around the relationship between individual wants and needs on one hand and the ability to fulfill those wants, needs, and dreams on the other. According to Merton (25ff), the venue for fulfillment is society, and its class structure, institutions, cultural norms, and the position of the individual within the whole may facilitate, prevent, or retard fulfillment. Man, says Merton (195), "is to a very important degree controlled by his social relations to the instruments of production." Written and unwritten rules of engagement between individuals and between individuals and social institutions dominate life experience, such that social life amounts to life in a bureaucracy, with behavior assuming the character of ritual adherence to specific kinds of action."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, of the many types of the activity, the most prevalent forms of white collar crime include fraud (computer, internet, credit cards, forgeries, bankruptcy), tax evasion, securities fraud, mail fraud, bribery, counterfeiting, trade secret theft and insider trading. The author points out that perhaps one of the most talked about cases of white collar crime involves the insider trading scandal involving Martha Stewart. The paper stresses that the United States justice system has a significant stake in both uncovering and deterring future cases of this multi-billion dollar phenomenon.
From the Paper
""White-collar crime" as a concept was coined in a 1939 speech presented by Edwin Sutherland at the American Sociological Society. During the speech, Sutherland explained that this type of crime is one "committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." Although many of the most infamous cases of white collar crime, even in present times, do involve people of "high social status," the modern definition in which the term applies to a myriad of "nonviolent crimes usually committed in commercial situations for financial gain.'''

White-Collar Crime, 2008.
This paper analyzes the rise of white-collar crime within the United States in relation to John Maynard Keynes' and Adam Smith's free market systems.

Abstract
The paper examines how the free market global economy has played a large role in increasing corporate crimes. The paper looks at the conflict between the economic theories of Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes and shows how the details of economic global free market systems can identify the problems of 20th century white-collar crime within the discourse of rights and justice-based theory. The paper presents a strategic plan that will address systemic problems that facilitate corporate crime. The paper believes that with a coordinated resolve to fight corporate crime, this is a workable strategy that will improve the situation substantially and prevent a great deal of free market abuse.
From the Paper
"The central issue of Adam Smith's "hidden hand" economics in the free market economy is the growing failure of the U.S. government to regulate the way that banking has been practiced in global markets. One example of this was the problem of the Savings and Loan Crisis, which often deregulated banking institutions, causing problematic ethical issues through justice based theories of fair and balanced market behaviors. In this case, the government did not enforce restrictions on competitive measures for commercial banks for the greater benefit of the banking industry."
