White Collar


What is a White Collar Crime?

The term “white collar” refers to a certain set of financially motivated crimes. White collar are generally non-violent in nature and are commonly committed by members of upper social classes.  In many cases, white collar crimes are committed in the workplace or during the course of a business transaction.  Certain white collar crimes are especially prevalent in a corporate setting.  While these types of crimes are often believed to be victimless since they do not target specific individuals, they can deprive others of money and property and can even threaten the financial stability of a business or the country as a whole.  White collar crimes can be prosecuted by both state and federal governments depending on the nature and extent of the crime in question.  Moreover, due to the large amounts white collar criminals stand to gain, these crimes are often punished harshly including hefty fines and where appropriate, prison time.
