Companies and individuals fall victim to business deals that appear legitimate, only to find out too late that appearances can be deceiving.

white-collar crime: an overview The phrase "white-collar crime" was coined in 1939 during a speech given by Edwin Sutherland to the American Sociological Society. Sutherland defined the term as "crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." Although there has been some debate as to what qualifies as a white-collar crime, the term today generally encompasses a variety of nonviolent crimes usually committed in commercial situations for financial gain. Many white-collar crimes are especially difficult to prosecute because the perpetrators are sophisticated criminals who have attempted to conceal their activities through a series of complex transactions. The most common white-collar offenses include: antitrust violations computer/internet fraud credit card fraud phone/telemarketing fraud ... economic espionage , and trade secret theft (see definitions at bottom).

White Collar Crimes Most people think about thugs and hoodlums as the typical criminal. Our jails are full of poorly educated young men whose violent crimes are constantly flashed across our TV screens and written about in our newspapers. The big-time criminals, the ones who do not get caught, wear three-piece suits and use computers, lawyers, and accountants to separate people from their money. About 20,000 murders are reported to police in an average year. “Nonviolent” white collar criminals probably kill many more people than all the violent street criminals put together. By virtually any criterion, white collar crime is our most serious crime problem. Although it may be impossible to determine exactly how many people are killed and injured annually because white collar crimes, the claim that such crimes are harmless, nonviolent offenses is not true. Business criminals are attracted by stock market scams, fraud, price-fixing, kickbacks, and the making and selling of dangerous goods. James Coleman views white collar crime as “violations of law committed in the course of a legitimate occupation or financial pursuit by persons who hold respected positions in their communities.” Coleman also states that crimes “. . . committed for the benefit of the individual criminal without organizational support and organizational crimes committed with support from an organization that is, at least in part, furthering its own ends” are also white collar crimes. Confusing the issue even more, he listed rent code violations by landlords, political corruption, embezzlement, employee theft, illegal acts by government workers, and stealing by dock workers as white collar crimes.

WHITE COLLAR CRIME White collar crime is the illegal activities of people and organizations whose acknowledged purpose is profit through legitimate business enterprise. White collar crime involves illegal business practices (embezzlement, price-fixing, bribery) with merchandise that is ordinarily seen as a legitimate business product. Normally, the FTC investigates telemarketing fraud, and the SEC investigates securities fraud. Trust violations are jointly investigated by the FBI and FTC. In the late 1930s, criminologist Edwin Sutherland first coined the term "white collar crime" to describe the criminal activities of the rich and powerful. He defined it as "a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." As Sutherland saw it, the rich were engaged in a conspiracy to use their position for personal gain without regard to the law. Today, it is recognized that persons in all social classes can commit white collar crimes, but the notion of getting away with disregard for the law still exists in the justice system's tendency to treat these offenses as civil rather than criminal matters. The following types of white collar crime are recognized today: Corporate crime Usually occurs when a strongly competitive business environment fosters corporate irregularities (antitrust violations, price-fixing, false advertising)

18. White Collar Crime Much in the way of white collar crime can be attributed to efforts of whitecollarcriminals to embezzlement, fraud, theft and sale of company secrets http://rouncefield.homestead.com/files/a_soc_dev_30.htm

White Collar Crime Origins Sutherland coined term “White Collar Crime” in 1939. He argued that white-collar crime is: Crime, which involves a betrayal of trust implied in the holding of an office or other position of trust. Committed by persons of respectability and high social status in the course of their occupation. A greater threat to society than street crime because the former promotes cynicism and distrust of basic social institutions. Sutherland coined the term "white-collar crime" in order to point out weaknesses in typical crime theory that considered social pathology as the primary explanation behind criminal behavior. White-collar crime casts doubt on the notion that poverty breads crime. Sutherland argued that members of society occupying positions of privilege and status were just as likely to commit crimes as those from the lower classes. Sutherland's call to study white-collar crime marked a major shift in the focus of criminological inquiry. Prior to Sutherland research had been directed toward the lower classes, e.g., the works inspired by the "Chicago School" of sociology: McKay (1930); later Shaw and McKay (1942); and those of Robert Merton (1938). Growth White-collar crime has increased because: We now live in a society that depends on people and organizations in positions of trust.

WHITE-COLLAR CRIME The term "white-collar crime" refers to several related crime areas, which in the broadest sense, are committed for financial gain and rely primarily on deception and fraud rather than on violence or physical force. These areas include corruption, financial and economic fraud, government fraud, computer frauds, and environmental crime. In today's complex and global society, the nature, the breadth, and complexity of white-collar crime is as diverse as those it impacts: the government, industries, businesses, and individual citizens. The economic cost of white-collar crime is massive, conservatively estimated to cost the U.S. more than $300 billion annually. In addition, there are other costs of white-collar crime which are not always measurable in dollars. Corruption of public officials undermines the trust in government, tearing at the very fabric of American society. Environmental crimes, such as the illegal dumping of toxic waste, contaminate our environment, endanger public safety, and often cause irreparable harm. The theft and piracy of intellectual property discourages creativity and can cripple a business. Finally, the substitution of inferior parts and products can jeopardize the lives of everyone. Recognizing the cost and seriousness of white-collar crime, the Jacksonville Division places the highest priority on these matters. Listed below are brief descriptions of the different types of white-collar crime investigated by the Jacksonville Division. For more information or detailed descriptions refer the FBI's
