Concept information
Preferred term
history of white-collar crime
Definition
- The words crime and criminal inevitably conjure up images of street prowlers bent on stealing, raping, and even occasionally murdering innocent citizens. In the popular mind, these individuals share similar idiosyncrasies: born to lower-class families, physically foreboding and aggressive, vicious and remorseless, often addicted to drugs, uneducated but cunning, and animated by an uncontrollable lust for transgression.
