White-Collar Crime An Opportunity Perspective

White-Collar Crime An Opportunity Perspective

White-Collar Crime: An Opportunity Perspective analyzes white-collar crime within a coherent theoretical framework. Using the opportunity perspective which assumes that all crimes depend on offenders recognizing an opportunity to commit an offense the authors uncover the processes and situational conditions that facilitate white-collar crimes. In addition they offer potential solutions to this persistent and widespread social problem without being reductive in their treatment of the difficulties of control. With this third edition Benson and Simpson have added substantive online teaching materials and expanded their coverage with up-to-date case studies and discussions of recent investigations into white-collar crime and control.

Understanding White-Collar Crime A Convenience Perspective

Understanding White-Collar Crime A Convenience Perspective

Understanding White-Collar Crime develops the concept of convenience as the main explanation for crime occurrence. Examining all three dimensions of crime—economic organizational and behavioral—the book argues that when white-collar crime becomes less convenient crime rates will go down. By applying convenience theory to an empirical sample of convicted white-collar criminals the text teaches criminal justice students and ethics and compliance practitioners to identify and understand how opportunity affects real-world criminal situations. Internal investigations of white-collar crime are discussed and corporate social responsibility against white-collar crime is emphasized. Understanding White-Collar Crime: A Convenience Perspective examines not only the theories behind white-collar crime but also explores methods used in criminal justice investigations into corporate fraud and emphasizes the importance of corporate social responsibility in reducing crimes of this nature. Criminal justice students and practitioners should not miss this close look into the world of white-collar crime. | Understanding White-Collar Crime A Convenience Perspective

The Routledge Handbook of White-Collar and Corporate Crime in Europe

The Routledge Handbook of White-Collar and Corporate Crime in Europe

The study of white-collar crime remains a central concern for criminologists around the world and research concentrates on its nature prevalence causes and responses. However most books on white-collar crime tend to focus on Anglo-American examples which is surprising given the amount of rich data and research taking place in mainland Europe. This new handbook seeks to reset the balance and for the first time presents an overview of state-of-the-art research on white-collar crime in Europe. Adding to the existing Anglo-American body of knowledge the Handbook will discuss specific European topics and typical European features of white-collar crime. The Routledge Handbook of White-Collar and Corporate Crime in Europe consists of more than thirty chapters on topics ranging from the Icelandic Banking Crisis to the origins of the study of white collar crime to contemporary topics such as white-collar crime in countries post-transition from communist regimes; the illegal e-waste trade and white-collar crime in professional football. Furthermore the book contains extensive case study analyses of landmark European cases of white-collar crime. The editors have gathered together the leading voices in the field and a final section offers commentaries on white-collar crime in Europe from eminent criminologists David Friedrichs and Hazel Croall. This Handbook will thus serve as a work of reference for all scholars and students engaged in the study of corporate and white-collar crime and will also set out directions for new research in the future.
