What is considered a White Collar Crime?

White Collar Crimes are committed by the affluent in the course of normal business activities, where they use their position for gain. This is different than organized crime, which is an organization directed towards deviance. White-collar crime is not a simple, clear-cut case of deviance. It is one part conventionality and one part deviance.

The conception is that “crime” is what lower class people, do. Thus, it can be shocking to see an affluent, 60 year-old banker under arrest.

These are deliberate criminal acts motivated by Profit with activity hidden in normal business routine and secrecy. When legitimate or conventional methods make the attainment of a financial goal difficult or impossible, many corporate constituents will resort to illegitimate or deviant means.

Features of a White-Collar Crime

White-collar crime can be made up of complex, sophisticated, and relatively technical actions. It tends to be mixed with legitimate behavior, and harm is not always recognized immediately because it is usually spread out over a substantial number of victims.

Large monetary sums are usually involved.

White-collar criminals steal by manipulating symbols; they can steal money that is not physically in front of them. White-collar crime is made up of a number of interrelated actions that extend over long periods of time. With regards to prosecution, evidence indicating that they have taken place is not as easy to obtain as with street crime.
