White Collar Crime: A Practitioner's Perspective collects expert chapters on fraud, corruption, healthcare fraud and cybercrime.
What's inside
The opening chapters trace how the category got named at all, starting from Sutherland's argument that crime crosses every social class. Later ones move to why these cases are so hard to prosecute once the money gets complicated.
Who it's for
Criminal justice and legal studies courses, professional ethics modules, and people in policy who need the current shape of the field rather than the classic fraud examples on their own.
From the publisher
Through a collection of contributed chapters written by experts in the discipline, White Collar Crime: A Practitioner's Perspective sheds light on various dimensions of white collar crimes, exploring their history, sociological underpinnings, legal challenges, and evolving profiles.
The book begins by charting the emergence of white collar crime as a societal issue, focusing on Edwin Sutherland's influential work that reframed crime as a phenomenon crossing all social classes. Further chapters offer a thorough exploration of criminological theories to help readers better comprehend the motives and actions of those who perpetrate these crimes, extending beyond traditional examples of white collar crime such as fraud to encompass cutting-edge topics such as cyberattacks and environmental violations.
The text guides readers through laws and regulations and underscores the difficulties in prosecuting white collar crimes due to their financial intricacies and advanced investigatory needs. It critically examines various categories of white collar crime, such as corporate fraud, consumer protection malpractice, public corruption, healthcare fraud, and the vast expanse of cybercrimes, underscoring their repercussions on society at large.
White Collar Crime is ideal for advanced students engaging in legal studies, criminal justice courses, and professional ethics, as well as policymakers and professionals seeking an in-depth understanding of the modern landscape of white-collar criminality.
