Policing White-Collar Crime
نویسنده
چکیده
White-collar crime is financial crime committed by upper-class members of society for personal or organizational gain. White-collar criminals are individuals who tend to be wealthy, highly educated and socially connected, and they are typically employed by, and within, legitimate organizations. Ever since Edwin Sutherland first introduced the concept of “white-collar” crime in 1939, researchers have discussed what might be encompassed by this concept and what might be excluded. The discussion has been summarized by scholars such as Benson and Simpson (2009), Blickle et al. (2006), Bookman (2008), Bucy et al. (2008), Hansen (2009), Podgor (2007), Robson (2010) and Schnatterly (2003).
