2. An individual in the position where they are granted a
substantial amount of power can also fall into the well-known
trap of financial motivated crimes. White-collar crimes consist
of non-violent actions committed, by people of high social
status or who are trusted in the course of their occupation, in
other words, business and government professionals. Illegal acts
such as fraud, larceny, theft, concealment, public corruption,
money laundering, corporate fraud, securities and commodities
fraud are instances that all pertain to White-collar crimes. These
crimes are motivated through individuals avoiding to lose
money, property, or to secure a business advantage. White-
collar crimes are investigated by federal authorities which can
be taken as more of a serious deal than a crime involving
violence or drugs. Typically the individual partaking in a
White-collar crime is well educated, and respected members of
his or her community, making it hard for them to get caught
considering this type of crime does not include violence. White-
collar crimes are mostly based off of individual’s greed or
redemption from prior mistakes.
Crimes considered that are considered to be “White collar” are

3. more than often committed by people of higher intelligence
which makes it harder to investigate them. These people are
usually highly educated and are smart enough to crack the
system for long periods of time before being caught. This leads
to cases being handled by the highest law enforcement agencies
in the country, mostly the FBI. Crimes such as theft, larceny,
fraud and money laundering are simply to big and in depth for
local law enforcement to handle. Investigating these crimes are
also tough because these criminals are often great at hiding the
money they have received illegally, by simply taking the money
out of their own accounts and spreading it to others or off shore
accounts so that the money cannot be traced. White-collar
crimes are not your everyday street crimes that typically involve
violence and drugs but can relate to robberies, larceny and
burglaries that include money. An example of a white-collar
crime is fraud, which is when an individual deceives others in
hope of a financial gain for themselves or a group of people.
One person or a group of persons can commit fraud, which leads
to different types of the crime. The most popular types of this
crime involve, securities and commodities, insurance, medical,
credit and check, computer and bank fraud as well as
embezzlement.
Security and commodity fraud deceives people to think they are
investing in a stock on the rise meanwhile the broker has
inflated the stock to be more than it is actually worth. Investors
typically put their or their companies’ money into stocks that
are falsely advertised in hopes of gaining money from a stock
they believe to be on the rise when they are just inflated at the
investment point. Brokerage firms that commit security fraud
typically have no relation to their victim and provide them with
false information or advice to lure an investor to invest in their
stocks. An example of a security fraud is the “Enron scandal,
which involved numerous illegal practices committed over
several years by high-ranking company executives who sought
to hide Enron’s growing debt and keep perceived stock market
value high” Enron popped up to be on the SEC’s Radar in 2001

4. when their company was valued at 1.2 billion less than the year
before. (Hess et al., 2017) The Securities and Exchange
Commission, created by the U.S congress protects investors
against fraud in the stock markets as well as investors in capital
trade.
