Full textAbstract:
White-collar crimes and economic offenses have increased alarmingly as a result of the modernization of crime, a disturbing trend that threatens to destroy the economy globally. White-collar crimes are admittedly very common in third-world nations and are thus by no means a new occurrence. The convergence of business and the law, as well as their interactions with innovation, moral discourse, and public perception, as well as the evolution of state regulations over time, are what give white-collar crimes their historical foundation. Since white-collar criminals were not viewed as the “typical criminals” who committed robbery, or murder, it will not be an exaggeration to argue that it took a long time for the law to recognize this form of the malicious act under the canopy of crime. Instead, there was a perception that white-collar offenses were victimless and less detrimental to society than crimes like robbery. White-collar offenders still face substantially lighter punishments than ordinary criminals in various nations. White-collar crimes create significantly more harm to society than traditional crimes because they pose a much bigger threat to economic stability by undermining public confidence. The current study’s fundamental methodology will be doctrinal, i.e., it will analyse deviances and the problems associated with white-collar crimes in considerable detail. The technique takes a strictly theoretical approach; therefore, it describes several professions where such crimes occur and provide a thorough conceptual understanding of the underlying idea. The present study will make attempt to comprehend the reasoning behind deviations and the conditions that give rise to such crimes. The study will also seek to analyse the current situation considering the context. Additionally, the study will present some untouched perspectives on white-collar crimes.

Full textAbstract:
The article touches upon the problem of white collar criminality and presents a contemporary view of the phenomenon.
The concept of white-collar crime, first introduced by Edwin H. Sutherland in 1939, immediately became the driving force behind the discussion undertaken by criminologists and sociologists of that time. Since then, many studies have been conducted in order to answer the question about who actually is a “white collar” – why do respectable, well-situated individuals decide to enter the path of crime? The author contrasts two types of definitions – the subjective white-collar crime definition developed in Anglo-Saxon culture and objective definition of economic crime functioning in Europe. It is significant that the crime of white collars has never really been systematized in the Polish legal system (and most of European legal systems), in contrast to economic types of crime.The author compares recent literature, presents characteristics of white-collar criminals and comes to the conclusion that in this specific group of criminals the ties between the perpetrator and the community in which they live are very weak.
Finally, the article touches on a problem of possible beneficial consequences of attempting to investigate the scale of crimes committed by white collars.

Full textAbstract:
Christian churches will lose an estimated $59 billion worldwide to embezzlement in 2022. Embezzlement and other white-collar crimes are property theft crimes characterized by the violation of another’s trust. This Comment names white-collar crimes committed exclusively by church leaders or officials “clerical-collar crimes.” Distinguishing clerical-collar crime from white-collar crime gives weight to and promotes future consideration of the unique problems that arise when church leaders and officials commit clerical-collar crime.Although clerical-collar crime is subject to civil and criminal liability, this Comment focuses solely on victims’ experiences in bringing civil claims against perpetrators of clerical-collar crime in Texas and leaves clerical-collar crime prosecution and punishment to future study. This Comment begins by examining three reasons why churches are uniquely vulnerable to clerical-collar crime. Then, this Comment describes three civil claims church members can bring against perpetrators of clerical-collar crime, two challenges church members face in bringing those claims in Texas, and the difficulty of recovering stolen property due to the judgment-proof problem. This Comment concludes by making several recommendations to protect churches from clerical-collar crime and mitigate victims’ losses.

Abstract: The criminal act of paying wages below the minimum wage is not distinct from the criminal aspect of white collar crime, that is a criminal offense committed by a person with a high socioeconomic status and a respectable commission of a crime in the interest of his work. The corporate criminal acts frequently include white collar crimes. The company's activities give a possibility for white-collar criminality to occur. The study investigates the legal resolution of crimes involving wages below the minimum wage using the white collar crime approach. This is a juridico-normative study employing qualitative data analysis. The juris-normative method is employed to analyze data through a library study on specialized secondary data discussing the norms contained in the provincial minimum wage provisions. Juridic-normative method refers to research that leads to the origins of white-collar crime, specifically in relation to the origins of good faith, with the intention of establishing justice. The results indicate that there are still numerous business owners who do not comply with the regulations. This practice has a significant impact on the well-being of victims of crime earning below the minimum wage. The efficacy of efforts to prevent criminals from receiving below-minimum payments must consider the causes of the crime. The examination of this research found criminological factors in the criminal act of paying wages below the minimum, white collar crime characteristics, and preventive and repressive efforts in the management of white collar crime.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the research was to analyze academic approaches to understanding the legal nature of white-collar crime and what crimes it includes; based on this understanding, the model of corporate criminal liability was investigated to place it in various law enforcement contexts. Throughout the article, appropriate research methods have been used, such as: comparative law method, systemic-structural method, formal-legal method. Based on the results of the detailed comparative analysis, it has been established that there are no unified standards or models for both white-collar crime and corporate criminal liability. Furthermore, it has been argued that the concept of fraud (deception) constitutes the key element of white-collar crime and is also the foundation of most corporate crimes. In the conclusions, it is argued that corporate criminal liability in the United States, and to a lesser extent in some European countries (including Ukraine), is a powerful law enforcement tool capable of protecting society from massive crimes as well as deterring corporations from unlawful deviations.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of the paper is to research the modern phenomenon of global white-collar crime, its socially harmful forms and to discuss methods of fighting such criminality internationally. In the course of the research, several general and special scientific methods were used. Special focus was laid on comparing models of enforcing economic crimes in different jurisdictions. A general overview of today’s interconnected economic systems is provided. A link between economic security and national (including information) security is explained. With reference to numerous publications on the issues of white-collar crime it is suggested that this topic is of significant practical meaning to national governments. Based on the example of several white-collar crimes, including tax evasion, money laundering and insider trading, a conclusion was made on the complexity of prosecuting economic offenses, when criminal activity goes beyond any national jurisdiction. Challenges of procedural nature, which relate to investigation and prosecution of such crimes, are discussed as well. As a general conclusion, it is argued that modern phenomenon of economic globalization significantly underlines the importance of the implementation of comparative, multi-jurisdictional research into the field of white-collar crime enforcement.

PurposeThis paper aims to add to the theoretical discussion of white-collar crime by introducing modern psychological decision-making literature and the potential effect on white-collar offending.Design/methodology/approachUsing a theoretical approach, literature on heuristics, innovation and stress, insight into why white-collar offenders decide to commit crime is posited.FindingsThe heuristics and strategies that people use to assist in decision-making process may inadvertently promote white-collar crime. For example, stress may inhibit white-collar offenders’ thinking, causing them to discount the risk of committing said offense; individuals may not challenge the success of carrying out a white-collar offense once it is considered; and generally, people will be more optimistic in considering their success of not getting caught.Originality/valueCurrently, the study of white-collar crime is discussed largely in the context of sociological factors. Current psychological theories have considerable explanatory power in understanding why white-collar offenders commit their crimes.

Full textAbstract:
White-collar crime poses a significant challenge to the economic and social fabric of India, as it involves non-violent financial offenses committed by individuals or organizations in positions of trust and authority. This research paper critically examines the landscape of white-collar crime identification in India, shedding light on the types of offenses prevalent, the mechanisms employed for detection, and the complex challenges faced by law enforcement and regulatory bodies. The study begins with an exploration of the various types of white-collar crimes observed in the Indian context, including fraud, corruption, embezzlement, money laundering, insider trading, and cybercrimes. Real-life case studies are presented to illustrate these offenses and the methods employed by perpetrators. Detection mechanisms are a central focus of this paper, with an in-depth analysis of financial audits, forensic accounting techniques, and digital monitoring tools used to identify and investigate white-collar crimes. The role of technology, particularly artificial intelligence and data analytics, is examined in enhancing detection capabilities.

Full textAbstract:
The government’s inability to eradicate white-collar crimes in the public sector harms Nigeria’s economy. Evidence from the literature indicates that investors are afraid of investing in the country because of this threat. Several studies have focused on fraud as the major proxy for corrupt practices neglecting the white-collar crimes that were considered in this study. The ineptitude of existing audit and investigation techniques to curb white-collar crimes has called for the introduction of forensic accounting. This study adopted a survey design. The study population consisted of 257,061 stakeholders from six selected universities and six polytechnics in southwest Nigeria, and a sample size of 500 was determined using the Taro Yamani formula. A stratified sampling technique was used to select respondents for the questionnaire. The findings revealed that forensic accounting techniques had a significant effect on fraud occurrence (Adj R2 = 0.369, F (2, 423) 40.772, p < 0.000) and, embezzlement (Adj R2 = 0.426, F (2, 423) 53.520, p < 0.000) in Nigeria’s public sector. The study concluded that forensic accounting resolved white-collar crimes in Nigeria’s public sector. The study recommends that the government establish forensic account units in all ministries, departments, and agencies to ensure accountability and transparency in their financial operations. The administration in the MDAs should institute legal action against any official caught in white-collar crime to deter others from engaging in such behavior.

Full textAbstract:
The criminal career paradigm has become an increasingly important perspective in the study of street crimes, but it has generated little interest among scholars concerned with white-collar criminality. Behind this neglect lies a common assumption about white-collar criminals. Although street criminals are assumed highly likely to recidivate, white-collar offenders are thought to be “one-shot” criminals unlikely to be processed in the justice system after their initial brush with the law. This article examines the extent to which this image of white-collar criminals is reflected in the criminal records of defendants convicted under white-collar crime statutes. Findings show that white-collar criminals are often repeat offenders. The data also suggest that such offenders are likely to begin their “careers” later, and evidence lower frequency of offending than do street criminals. The article concludes by examining the implications of these findings for white-collar crime research and policy.

Full textAbstract:
While several traditional criminological theories have been used to explain the causes of white-collar crime, few research studies have examined the role that personality plays in explaining the causes of these types of crimes. University students were measured on two personality scales, self-control and desire for control, to determine the extent to which these factors affect the propensity to commit either street crime or white-collar crime. The findings indicate that self-control has the most significant effect on offending, but only when students indicated that they were willing to commit both street crime and white-collar crime. On the other hand, desire for control did not predict a propensity towards committing either type of crime.

Full textAbstract:
Background: White-collar crime refers to illegal activities that individuals or organizations commit during business or professional activities. These crimes are often financially motivated and include embezzlement, fraud, bribery, money laundering, and insider trading. White-collar crime can have significant consequences for individuals, organizations, and society. Objectives: The objectives of research on white-collar crime may include understanding the motivations and behaviors of those who engage in such activities and identifying the organizational and societal factors. That contributes to the prevalence of white-collar crime and the development of new methods for detecting and preventing white-collar crime. Method: This review highlights and assesses recent (primarily during the past decade) contributions to white-collar crime theory, new evidence regarding the sentencing and punishment of white-collar offenders, and controversies surrounding crime prevention and control policies. Several promising new directions for white-collar crime research are identified, as are methodological and data deficiencies that limit progress. Results: The results of a study on white-collar crime can vary depending on the specific research question and methods used. However, some common findings include the prevalence of certain types of white-collar crime, the characteristics of individuals and organizations that are most likely to engage in such activities, and the impact of white-collar crime on individuals, organizations, and society as a whole. Conclusion: The research conclusion on white-collar crime may summarize the main findings, highlight the implications of the research, and make recommendations for future research. Evaluation of Current Investigations and Future Directions: Current investigations on white-collar crime have greatly improved our understanding of white-collar offenders' motivations, behaviors and methods. However, there are still areas that need further exploration, such as the study of the psychological profiles of white-collar offenders, the impact of technology on white-collar crime and its detection, and the examination of the role of organizational culture in the commission of the white-collar crime. It is also crucial to focus on the development of effective interventions and policies to prevent white-collar crime from happening. Future research may also consider the global and cross-cultural dimensions of white-collar crime.

Full textAbstract:
The current study was designed to investigate U.S. taxpayer's perception of the severity of tax evasion relative to other offenses, in general, and white-collar crimes, in particular. We compared the perception of tax evasion to 20 other offenses, including violent crimes such as rape and murder and relatively minor offenses such as jaywalking. Due to the recent focus by lawmakers and the media on white-collar scandals and the lack of comparisons in prior literature, we also included six white-collar crimes. Overall, the results indicate that tax evasion was viewed as only somewhat serious. When comparing tax evasion to other white-collar offenses, we found that tax evasion was perceived as equal in severity to minimum wage law violations and rated less serious than the other four white-collar crimes investigated. Most demographic factors (age, gender, education or income level, political affiliation, etc.) did not seem to be related to perceptions of tax evasion. However, location of taxpayers did have some effect. These findings differ from several previous studies.

Full textAbstract:
This article reviews the relationship between white-collar crimes, terrorism, and Indonesia’s counterterrorism policy. Indonesia’s counterterrorism policy yet include white-collar crimes, especially in economy, monetary, and banking, as a form of terrorism. This is because two things: the ignorance of the law enforcements on the white-collar crimes’ modus operandi and its reality that growing fast due to the development in science and technology. As a result, although white-collar crimes are so destructive and growing rapidly but Indonesia’s legal instruments to date did not have an integrated codification of law to eradicate it. Furthermore, Indonesia’s counterterrorism policy looks lopsided because it focused on street crimes or blue-collar crimes, the crimes committed by the lower class strata in such vulgar, unsophisticated, and violent natures. That is in contrast with the white- collar crimes which are so corrupt, destructive, and wicked because it conducted in a sophisticated, fraudulent, and systematic way. Thus, if the definition of terrorism only focuses in the type of street crimes then the corrupt practices, fraud, and deception in the white-collar crimes will be difficult to unfold and it seemed even strengthened, protected, and ultimately have a great potential in undermining the national stability.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: To determine whether different conceptions (Populist, Patrician) and operationalizations of “white-collar crime” produce different substantive conclusions, using the applied case of sentencing in federal criminal court. Method: Federal Justice Statistics Program data are used to identify white-collar and comparable crimes referred for prosecution in 2009 to 2011 that were also sentenced through 2013. Five different operational strategies are used to identify “white-collar crime” and are employed in separate hurdle regressions jointly capturing incarceration and sentence length. Differences in model coefficients and case composition are discussed across definitions. Results: There are differences in the relationship between “white-collar crime” and incarceration both between and within Populist and Patrician conceptions. These differences are most pronounced at the in/out decision but are also present for sentence length. Conclusions: Contradictory findings from past research are largely able to be replicated within a single sample simply by changing the conception and operationalization of white-collar crime used. This demonstrates that debating what is “truly” white-collar crime is not just an exercise in semantics—it is a conceptual and methodological choice that can have dramatic consequences on what (we think) we know about the treatment of white-collar crime in the criminal justice system.

Purpose: This study sought to assess the preparedness of Law Enforcement Officers in handling white-collar crimes within Nairobi City County. The research objectives were to establish the adequacy of current resources available to effectively manage white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County, to explore the competencies of the law enforcement agents in investigating white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County, to examine the challenges encountered by Law enforcement agents face in thwarting white-collar crimes within Nairobi City County and finally to establish the strategies for enhancing the capacity of law enforcement agents in handling white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County. Methodology: The target population was largely drawn from the Kenya police, Directorate of criminal investigations and the Kenya Anti-corruption commission with a sample size of 371 respondents drawn from the DCI and KPS. This study adopted quantitative and qualitative research methods. It used a descriptive survey design. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The study was guided by the Rational Choice Theory. Quantitative data was analysed through the SPSS tool version 23. The reports from qualitative data were presented using descriptive statistics. This included frequencies, modes, means, variances and standard deviations. Qualitative data was first coded, patterns established themes and finally reported narratively. Results: The study revealed that there was a significant and strong relationship between the four variables and preparedness level to deal with white collar crime, however the enforcement agents in Nairobi County-Kenya were found to be generally ill prepared to fight white collar crime. The study revealed that corruption tendering and other acts of bribery; money laundering, embezzlement/misappropriation of public funds/resources as the most prevalent crimes. Cyber-hacking and other forms of internet fraud were also perceived to be problematic, yet security agents were inadequately prepared to deal with these kinds of crimes as they lacked resources and the relevant training to enable them to investigate, arrest, and prosecute the culprits. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommended that the government should allocate more funds and resources to enable law enforcement agents procure modern gadgets that track internet activities; the officers/forensic experts need to have proper training and be recruited from the smart people in society who are perceived to be supper intelligent for them to be smart in their investigations; there is also need to strengthen the existing and establish relevant laws (legal and institutional frameworks) aimed at combating corruption related and other economic crimes.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the issue of suicide, a violent act against one’s self, as it relates to white- and red-collar crimes. White-collar crime can be described as nonviolent crime committed for financial gain. Red-collar crime describes a situation where a white-collar criminal commits an act of violence, often murder, to silence someone who is in a position to report a fraud they have perpetrated. Previous research has not addressed the issue of suicide, as it relates to white- and red-collar crime. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is conceptual, focusing on the historical underpinnings of white- and red-collar crime and reviewing the evolution of white-collar criminals. Sources of information consisted of published news media, scholarly articles and articles retrieved from the web. Findings A suicide may be linked, directly or indirectly, to a financial crime. Law enforcement must be careful not to jump to conclusions, as there is a possibility that a staged suicide has occurred. Originality/value Law enforcement individuals may want to consider an additional motive when investigating a suicide, especially when the victim has some type of connection to a known fraud. This type of connection may not be readily apparent and may require a new approach on the part of a law enforcement investigation.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the connection between ethics and profitability by examining the association between published reports on white-collar crime and the share-price performance of the Malaysian-listed companies. This study aims to examine the role of white-collar crime in Malaysian-listed companies on its stock-price reaction. Design/methodology/approach Following prior research, even study methodology is used to exploit the stock-price reaction on the white-collar crime announcement. The daily bases of average abnormal returns (AARs) and cumulative average abnormal returns (CAARs) with an event window of 90 days prior to and after the announcements are determined. This study uses public announcement data of white-collar crimes from Malaysian Securities Commission from 1996 to 2013. Findings The finding indicates that an announcement of a white-collar crime has a negative abnormal return on the share price. As a result, the market does not react efficiently toward the information released regarding the incidence of a white-collar crime. Practical implications This study contributes to the managerial decision theory, where managers should be able to see a definite connection between unethical behavior and their firm’s stock. The stockholders and policymakers should find this information important in pressing for greater corporate and managerial accountability. Originality/value Unlike prior research, this paper investigates the stock-price performance due to white-collar crime announcement in the Malaysian context by using complete data set of announcement from 1996 to 2013.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use exchange rate theory to compare how white-collar offenders and property offenders rank the severity of various correctional sanctions. Design/methodology/approach The authors use survey data from 160 inmates incarcerated for white-collar and property crimes in a Midwestern state to compare how white-collar inmates differed from property inmates in ranking the goals of prison and the punitiveness of prison as compared to other alternatives. Findings White-collar offenders were no different than property offenders in terms of their assessment of the punitiveness of prison compared to the punitiveness of the four sanctions under consideration here. White-collar offenders were significantly more likely than property offenders to believe that the goal of prison is to rehabilitate rather than deter individuals from further crime. Research limitations/implications Because the authors defined white-collar offenders by their crime of incarceration, they may have captured offenders who are not truly white-collar offenders. Focusing on offenders who were in prison did not allow them to fully examine whether similarities between white-collar and property offenders can be attributed to adjustment to prison or some other variable. Practical implications Alternative sanctions may be useful in punishing white-collar offenders in a less expensive manner than prison. Results suggest white-collar offenders may be more amenable to rehabilitation than property offenders and may not experience prison much differently than other types of offenders. Originality value This research is important because it is the first of its kind to compare white-collar offenders’ views about the punitiveness of prison and the goals of incarceration with those of property offenders.

<p>Using criminology as a foundation, this research explores the personality, psychology, and sociology of white-collar crime. While there has been much focus on various techniques (internal controls, prevention software, employee monitoring systems, etc.) to prevent fraud within companies and organizations, other important behavioral aspects have received less attention. The goal of this manuscript is to explore the literature from other disciplines to help better identify criminological personality profiles and incorporate different behavioral features such as personality characteristics, psychology, and sociology, with application to actual cases of white-collar fraud. Examining theory from other disciplines and merging it with the technical aspects of accounting and fraud prevention allows for a greater understanding of the motivations and processes behind these crimes and, hopefully, allowing for better prevention in the future.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Consumer protection and financial regulatory agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regulate various types of consumer, investor and financial frauds. Whether required or not, rulemaking proceedings oftentimes include some form of benefit-cost analysis. Thus, the benefits of proposed regulations – whether fully quantified or not – are an increasingly important component of rulemaking decisions. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the impact on victims in some cases includes significant time and financial hardships and even pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life. Further, the existence of these offenses causes nonvictims to take costly precautionary behavior and might even inhibit legitimate business activities. Yet, little is known about the true costs of consumer and financial crimes other than the out-of-pocket monetary losses incurred by victims. To the extent society wishes to optimally deter such crimes, without better data on nonmonetary costs, any benefit-cost analyses of criminal justice or prevention programs designed to reduce these crimes will inevitably underestimate program benefits. This paper provides an initial framework and empirical estimates of the willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce four types of white-collar and corporate offenses – consumer fraud, financial fraud, corporate crime, and corporate financial crime. Utilizing a contingent valuation survey approach that has been used to estimate the cost of street crimes, the average WTP for a 10% reduction in each of these four offenses is estimated to range between $35 and $85 per household. In the case of consumer fraud and financial fraud, where estimates of prevalence are available, this translates into a WTP of $1200 per consumer fraud and $12,000 for financial fraud. In contrast, the out-of-pocket costs to victims of consumer fraud have been estimated to average about $100, and about $200 to $250 for various types of financial frauds. These figures also compare favorably to the WTP for a reduced household burglary of $19,000.

Full textAbstract:
Fraud and white-collar crimes have assumed different dimensions, albeit with increased sophistication within the Nigerian banking industry. Hence forgeries, deceit and other unwholesome practices have continued to thrive. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer as to why people commit fraud. Good knowledge of the symptoms of occurring fraud is essential for us to know so we can learn to prevent it. In line with this thought, it has become necessary to review the existing theories on fraud and to ascertain if there are inherent clues or red flags that can be drawn from them to assist banks in the fight against fraud. That is the main objective of this study. There is no gain in stating that any meaningful attempt at stopping the menace of financial crimes will be a welcome development in the long run as managing fraud instead of preventing it might be so dangerous, it poses an institution’s ongoing concern. Thus, the broad objective of this research is to ascertain means and ways for preventing fraud in the Nigerian banking industry. A vast array of fraud theories were reviewed and reconciled with the pattern of financial crimes in the Nigerian banking industry. The research identified the influence of power, personal gain and self-control, loss aversion and risk acceptance, rationalization, and emotion as the drivers or propensity to commit fraud. We must learn our lessons from a past misdemeanor, as this will lead to a reduction in the re-occurrence of frauds. Thus, the essential lessons learnt from this study include the need for effective corporate governance, beefing up of internal control measures and objectively structured mechanisms to regulate and to supervise the Nigerian banking industry. There is also an urgent need for government’s commitment to wage an all-out war against crime and to create a new healthy culture of integrity and honesty in all aspects of life with zero tolerance for fraud and white-collar crimes even in the Nigerian banking industry. Our society also needs to inculcate the principle of self-control/ restraint in individuals.

Based on today’s factual condition, the corruption perceptions index of Indonesia is still very poor Corruption, as part of white-collar crimes, is considered as one of non-conventional crimes which are difficult to overcome using conventional counter-measures. The qualification of the perpetrators who have high socio-economic strata often complicates the law enforcement process, especially in terms of proof. Therefore, it requires a new paradigm that prioritizes policy approach and value approach. And both of the approaches should be done simultaneously. It is also necessary to understand the types of white-collar crimes to support the implementation of policy approach and value approach. In addition, this study also discusses non-penal efforts that can maintain the views of integrity, morality, and professional responsibility of the people who have the potential to engage in white-collar crimes, primarily through the internalization of local wisdom that supports the eradication and prevention of criminal acts of corruption.

The modern-day corporate world has been suffering from corporate white-collar crimes for the last few decades. The principal distress in this regard is that the menace comes from the upper elite class of the social hierarchy. The concerned study provides appreciated statistics regarding corporate white-collar crimes in the last few years in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and, India. The study further debates the causes of such crimes in the corporate arena and aims to ascertain the root cause of such crimes using allegorical understandings from Greek mythological parables.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: A process model of white-collar crime postulates that the etiology of this form of crime is incomplete without consideration of individual differences in neurobiology. Based on prior research, this study tests the primary hypothesis that “gray-collar crime” (GCC; offending on the margin of more serious white-collar crimes) would be associated with increased frontal lobe volume. Secondary analyses explored which frontal subregions, if any, would be associated with gray-collar offending. Method: Gray-collar offending and blue-collar criminal offending were assessed in 129 community males. Total frontal lobe, anterior cingulate, superior frontal, middle frontal, inferior frontal, and orbitofrontal volumes were assessed using magnetic resonance imaging. Results: Increased frontal volume was associated with increased gray-collar offending. Frontal volume remained significant after controlling for ethnicity, age, intelligence, whole brain volume, and blue-collar crime covariates, explaining 4.6 percent of the variance in GCC. Within the frontal lobe, findings were localized to superior frontal and anterior cingulate cortex, both before and after controlling for covariates. Conclusions: Findings provide preliminary evidence of increased frontal volume as a neural correlate of gray-collar offending and support a process model which hypothesizes that frontal lobe volume may provide some individuals with an advantage in perpetrating criminal offenses in occupational and avocational settings.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find out who in the white-collar offender field, specifically health-care professionals, is getting community service as a punishment and to lead the way for further research on community service as a legal sanction. Design/methodology/approach This study collected its sample using Medicaid Fraud Reports from the National Association of Medicaid Fraud Control Units for 2009-2014. In total, 200 reports were used; 100 with community service given as a legal sanction, and 100 without. All the information was then coded by a set of criteria and put into an SPSS Statistics file for analysis. Findings The findings showed that there was no significant relationship between gender and any of the main legal sanctions looked for in the Medicaid Fraud Reports, except for community service. Community service also had a significant relationship with those offenders who committed physical crimes rather than financial crimes. Last, women were given less severe sanctions on average for all of the major sanctions given. Research limitations/implications One of the implications found was that a lot more women were given community service than men. This could be because women are considered homemakers for families, and the court systems do not want to punish a woman in a way that would take her away from her family. It could also be because the court system does not see a reason to punish women as harshly as it may be felt that a woman will learn her lesson with any punishment. Originality/value There is very little research done on community service as a sanction. This research helps bring that to light.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, the Russian jurisdiction is endowed with such unattractive features for economic entities as excessive criminalization of offenses that do not pose a public danger, accusatory bias and opportunism of domestic justice. These defects of the punitive system make the development of the system of crime prevention relevant. In the punitive system, the role of the repression is dominant, while in the system of crime prevention it occupies a leading place. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that for further economic growth it is necessary not so much to punish "white-collar" crime, as to prevent it by means of limiting the list of criminally punishable acts in the field of intellectual professional activity and the use of preventive measures. According to the authors, the state policy in the field of professional offenses should change from punitive to preventive. In this regard, it is necessary: 1) decriminalize the minor "white-collar" crimes of minor gravity, highlighting these offenses in a separate chapter of the new Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, and in case of repeated commission of these offenses to bring the offender to criminal responsibility; 2) to spread the practice of using preventive measures in the activities of law enforcement units carrying out operational investigative activities; 3) to introduce departmental indicators of the work of the units of the bodies internal affairs carrying out operational and investigative activities for prevented offenses and unfinished crimes. These measures will prevent a personnel shortage in the field of highly intelligent professions in the context of the introduction of Western sanctions against Russia and will strengthen the economic security of the Fatherland.

Plea bargain is a widely practiced and common characteristic in various international legal systems. However, in Pakistan it is rebuked for providing a legitimate outlet to white-collar offenders so they are not only able to clear their names from National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) investigation, but are also absolved from heavy financial penalization by submitting a meagre amount from their fraudulently acquired wealth. This article aims to study the theory of plea bargain and its origin, based on the theoretical research method of study. A critical analysis of the societal and constitutional implications of article 25 of National Accountability Bureau Ordinance (NAO), 1999 Pakistan, is also done. Coherent arguments are given in favour of retaining the provision of plea bargain while proposing specific guidelines to enhance the transparency of this process.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the process during which Hungarian society „invented” the category of intellectual property crimes at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Since the rapidly urbanizing capital was at this time the economic and financial center of the country, the focus of this investigation is Budapest. The effort to define intellectual property crimes can be identified in criminal law, criminology, and in public opinion as well. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the development of modern capitalist economy and bourgeois society happened extremely quickly in Hungary, so the modern forms of crime closely related to the process – including intellectual property crimes – were codified in the criminal law in response to this, in the framework of a longer process. From the sources available from the turn of the century, it is clear that crimes of an intellectual nature had already appeared in Hungary in the early period of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, but they only became really „visible” from the early 1900s. Then, as a result of the First World War and the social and economic crisis following the defeat, the number of white-collar criminals increased by leaps and bounds. Accordingly, from the 1920s onwards, the issue of intellectual property crime became a defining topic in both police and press discourse. While the amount of economic or financial crimes committed by white-collar people increased significantly in the early 1920s and then during the Great Depression, their quantity and the types of crimes also changed continuously, adapting to changes in the economic environment.

Contingent valuation (CV) methods are used in many contexts to estimate non-tangible costs, despite some indications that they may not be reliable. In criminal justice, CV has been used to generate “costs of crime” for street, violent, and white-collar crimes. This article explores respondent fatigue using both quantitative and qualitative indicators from an open-ended CV survey where respondents were asked how much they would be willing to pay to reduce certain crimes. Our findings reveal that willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce crime increases when both problematic response patterns and fatigue effects are accounted for in the calculation, indicating that fatigued respondents who also engage in straight lining are driving the WTP estimates down. We conclude by discussing the implications of our results for policymakers and other consumers of CV studies.

Full textAbstract:
Fraud does not draw community and political reaction like other crimes (Chapman & Smith, 2001) yet many believe that fraud can be as serious or even more serious than certain types of street crimes (Rebovich & Kane, 2002). The financial statement fraud of KOSS, an American company of more than $34 million was discovered in 2009 after the tipoff from American Express to Michael Koss, CEO. The fraud was significant relative to the size, turnover and profit of the organization perpetrated by senior accounting professional (white collar). KOSS would be classified as an SME and this fraud emphasizes that it is not only large organizations that need to be vigilant regarding accounting frauds and internal controls, but smaller companies as well. Because of its size, KOSS had little segregation of duties and, as was later revealed, massive weaknesses in internal controls. The external auditors, (Grant Thornton, LLP or “GT”) upon whom management were relying, did not have a full understanding of the business and clearly did not meet the expectations of senior management. It is also appeared that auditors failed to apply required audit standards during the audit. Later on, the external auditors agreed to pay KOSS compensation worth $8.5 million in July 2013 as a settlement.The board of directors including audit committee appeared to be unconcerned regarding effective internal controls, risk management and (wrongly) assumed that they could trust their senior executive staff. The board’s limited policy of ethics and compliance was outdated and did not include a whistleblowing policy. There was no internal audit function reporting to the board. Further, the computerized accounting system was outdated and lacked the application controls found in more modern applications. The purpose of this case study is to analyze what went wrong at KOSS, who was involved in fraud and how such kind of frauds can be avoided in future.

The activities of corrupt individuals engaged in white-collar crimes still persist despite EFCC’s existence. This study was thus conducted to examine: the achievement of EFCC on containing money laundering and misappropriation of funds in Nigeria; and the implementation of EFCC’s anti-graft mandate in terms of obtaining money by false pretense and fraudulent banking in Nigeria. The study adopted scooping and survey method wherein 301 participants were sampled from selected states in Nigeria. It revealed that the fight against money laundering and misappropriation of funds; and obtaining money by false pretense and fraudulent banking were to a low extent implemented by EFCC. This finding is sacrosanct for understanding the dynamics of the anti-graft war in Nigeria. The study’s originality/value stems from its departure from the apparently over flogged issues regarding causes and/or effects of corruption to interrogating the extent of the performance of EFCC’s objectives through mixed method design.

This article expands the understanding of a kind of white-collar delinquency: youthful violations of patents and copyrights through the copying of audio- and videotapes and computer software. Class and gender variations in these kinds of activities are considered using a power-control perspective that focuses on parental controls and attitudes toward risk-taking. A power-control perspective treats childhood and adolescent socialization as a systemic process of social reproduction that links the family and work spheres, with implications for the understanding of “pink” as well as white-collar crimes.
