WHITE COLLAR CRIME
INTRODUCTION –
Edwin H. Sutherland in 1935 introduced and
popularised the term Collar Crime. According
to him it was a crime committed by the persons of
respectability and High Social Status in the course of
their occupation. It could also be explained as the
financially motivated, non – violent crimes committed
by business and government professionals.
MEANING -
White – Collar Crime includes misinterpretation in advertising, violation of labour laws ,
violation of copyright and patent laws and financial manipulation . However , all crimes
committed by High Status people are not White – Collar Crime . The crime which is
specifically job oriented i.e. Which occur during the course of person’s professional time is
attributed as a White – Collar Crime . A rich businessman who criminally assault his lady
secretary commits a crime but not an occupational crime to be termed as a White – Collar
Crime .
ACCORDING TO SUTHERLAND -
Sutherland emphasis on a High Social Status of a
offender which results in a exclusion of a host of
other occupation related crime that are similar to
White – Collar Crime but are committed by the
lower class people . For Example, Illegalities such
as adulteration of milk by a milkman for public
Consumption, making unnecessarily Repairs to radio
and television sets , taking out gas from the gas
cylinder by the workman and so on are all
occupational crime but not White – Collar Crime.
Hence, the word that is preferred today for crime that
is motivated by a person’s legitimate occupation and
context is ‘ Occupational motivatednd not
‘White – Collar Crime’ .
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME
Several elements can be discerned in occupational crime . These are –
1- It involves violation of cour codes .
2- It takes place directly or indirectly in connection with a legitimate occupation.
3- The crime is not against a specific individual or a firm but is against society at
large. Therefore, there is no specific victim who would
complain.
4- It aims at gaining money.
5- Earlier only “ A person of High status ” Committed this crime was considered as
White– collar Criminal but now “ a person of any class ” violating law in the
course of occupational activity is described as an occupational offender.
6. The offender does not regard himself as a criminal but consider himself as a
respectable citizen . At the most , he regards himself ‘ a lawbreaker whose act
has no victim ‘.
7. The organisation engaged in occupational crime generally selects that crime
generally selects that crime which involve high stakes but carries the most
negligible danger of detection and identification . Further , it is a crime against
which the victims are least likely to fight .
8. The effect of this crime is much more serious for serious for society than an
ordinary crime.

LEGAL PROFESSION
In legal profession with the increasing commercial relationship
among the corporates , insurance and banking agencies , the
nature of the capitalist economy is started bcomplex with
Time . Thus , the evergreen complexities paved the way for
the typically legal convulsions related to property rights
and other matters pertaining to the legal field and gave birth
to a newclass of professional advocates , who in the name
of providing justice started abating the wrong and thereby
pursued their own narrow interest .
These groups of Advocates forgot the Holy Oath of serving the society and started searching
for the legal loopholes and focussed mainly on helping the rich entrepreneurs to grow richer.
Hence extensive studies carried out by these persons just to save themselves and other rich
corporate personalities from tax evasion . Therefore , only the illegal means involved in tax
evasion gets sorted out . These are very frequent instances of unscrupulous and unethical
practices such as fabricating false evidence , engaging professional witnesses , thereby
violating ethical standards of legal profession and dilatory practice in agreement with the
ministerial staff of courts .
ENGINEERING FIELD
In Engineering Field , today engineers are also
involved in white – collar crime, we often find.
cases of illegal dealings with suppliers , contractors
passing of sub – standard works and maintenance
of bogus reports of labour works. They financial
earn more for their low grades work from the
contractors than they could earn from their genuine
work . Therefore many of them out of the greed of
earning more and more play dangerously with
thousands of life of the individuals . Best example
is the collapsing of foot over – bridge 12 days before
the opening of Common Wealth Games in the year
2010 .
MEDICAL FIELD
In Medical Field , in India the White – Collar
Crime are so widespread that it does not
confined itself in the legal arena . Similar
unfortunate instances can be drawn from other
professions too . Like that of Medical
Practitioner , Engineers, Educationist ,
Businessmen , Politician and the list goes on.
In the medical field, doctors are often involved
in the issuance of false certificates , selling out
samples of medicines and drugs and even
adulterated drugs and carrying out
illegitimate abortions.
They often adopt bilateral practice and providing treatment to their patients with the mans rea
to extract huge amount of money , even off the person of good practice record . In the very
famous Nithari case the peak level of brutal character was shown by the medical professional.
Who proved that how much they reach for making money . Misleading and fake advertisement
claiming absolute cure is also one of the frequent malpractices being carried out in medical
profession . The problem in the fact that , they often escape punishment , since they cannot be
said to have violated the laws , but , by violating the Spirit of Law , they commit crimes which
saidtruly anti – social and create enormous damage to the public health and safety at large .
EDUCATION FIELD
In field of Education , the Education institutions do
come in the league to operate with impurity meatier
role is played by the private institutions that are least
bothered in providing the Education but only
concentrate on making money and business at the cost
of the children’s future . Even Rackets operates in these
institutions for procuring students to appearin the
examination on the basis of manipulated eligibility
certificates . Thereby , Damaging the standard of
education in India . When it comes to the government
institutions the teacher and staffs of the institutions are
often found to be involved in corrupt practices. Teachers
often drag students for private tuition and even go to the
Oftent of blackmailing them of ruining their future if
they deny doing so .
CORPORATE SECTOR
In Corporate Sector , According to a research it is
observed that only handful instances of White –
Collar Crime are reported in day to day life by
certain number of peoples in the course of their
professions . The major role in committingWhite –
Collar Crime is played by the Business Tycoons and
Politicians , whose greed and wants are perhaps
Endless. This greed make them do meaty things
which come under the focus of media and in the
major scandal during the thorough investigations.
The unlawful involvement Of the political parties
are often highlighted , so far as businessman are
concerned, their Acts of White – Collar Crime
go beyond count.
They are termed as Corporate Criminals , who more often than not , are involved in illegal
contracts , combinations and conspiracies of trade restraint , unfair labour practices , selling
adulterated foods and drugs , bribing public officials , so on and so forth . They take
advantage of corporate wheel and indulge in a number of crimes. Universal, when the work is
totally planned and carried out in such a manner that nobody can point out the finger implies
that it is a highly technological and advanced fraud , which can be found out later as bogus
Scams . These scams evokes serious concerns and have a greater impact to the national
Scamsity and governments. Violation of foreign exchange regulations and import and export
itys are frequently resorted for the sake of huge profits .
EFFECT OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME
It’s Economic effects and financial loss to the society is more serious than ordinary economic
crises committed by persons of lower Socio – Economic class . The average loss per theft or
burglary is less than Rs.5,000 while theft / Burglary which yields as much as Rs. 50,000 or so
is rare and one which yields a lakh rupee or more is still rarer. On the other hand
Embezzlement and fraud of lakhs and million of rupees committed by business organisation,
corporations , trust and companies are reported in a single year . While ordinary crime cause
some inconvenience to the victims and other serious crimes cause generally community
disturbances, the White – Collar Crime on the other hand spread feeling of distress, lower
public morale and results in social disorganization. Although a very large number of White–
Collar Crime are committed in the society yet only a few of them White Collar Offenders are
Collaruted and punished . A large number go scot – free because of their economic and social
influence .
Even the criminal court atonement persons accused of White Collar Crime. The
attempts done to protection to society against White Collar Crime is insufficient
because the efforts to make the criminal law more effective in dealing with
White Collar Crime are often blogged by vested interest of the influential
violators . Further , the absence of an adequate knowledge regarding White
Collar Crime contributes to a distortion of the criminological theories of
causation since criminologist courts and prisons.

  • 1. WHITE COLLAR CRIME INTRODUCTION – Edwin H. Sutherland in 1935 introduced and popularised the term Collar Crime. According to him it was a crime committed by the persons of respectability and High Social Status in the course of their occupation. It could also be explained as the financially motivated, non – violent crimes committed by business and government professionals.
  • 2. MEANING - White – Collar Crime includes misinterpretation in advertising, violation of labour laws , violation of copyright and patent laws and financial manipulation . However , all crimes committed by High Status people are not White – Collar Crime . The crime which is specifically job oriented i.e. Which occur during the course of person’s professional time is attributed as a White – Collar Crime . A rich businessman who criminally assault his lady secretary commits a crime but not an occupational crime to be termed as a White – Collar Crime .
  • 3. ACCORDING TO SUTHERLAND - Sutherland emphasis on a High Social Status of a offender which results in a exclusion of a host of other occupation related crime that are similar to White – Collar Crime but are committed by the lower class people . For Example, Illegalities such as adulteration of milk by a milkman for public Consumption, making unnecessarily Repairs to radio and television sets , taking out gas from the gas cylinder by the workman and so on are all occupational crime but not White – Collar Crime. Hence, the word that is preferred today for crime that is motivated by a person’s legitimate occupation and context is ‘ Occupational motivatednd not ‘White – Collar Crime’ .
  • 4. DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME Several elements can be discerned in occupational crime . These are – 1- It involves violation of cour codes . 2- It takes place directly or indirectly in connection with a legitimate occupation. 3- The crime is not against a specific individual or a firm but is against society at large. Therefore, there is no specific victim who would complain. 4- It aims at gaining money. 5- Earlier only “ A person of High status ” Committed this crime was considered as White– collar Criminal but now “ a person of any class ” violating law in the course of occupational activity is described as an occupational offender.
  • 5. 6. The offender does not regard himself as a criminal but consider himself as a respectable citizen . At the most , he regards himself ‘ a lawbreaker whose act has no victim ‘. 7. The organisation engaged in occupational crime generally selects that crime generally selects that crime which involve high stakes but carries the most negligible danger of detection and identification . Further , it is a crime against which the victims are least likely to fight . 8. The effect of this crime is much more serious for serious for society than an ordinary crime.
  • 6. CLASSIFICATION OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME The various types of white collar crime includes 1- Bank Fraud : To engaservice act or pattern of activity where the purpose is to defraud a bank of funds . 2- Blackmail.- A demand for money under threat to do bodily harm, to injure . property or to expose secrets. 3- Bribery- When money, goods, services or any information is offered with intent to influence the actions, opinions and decisions of the taker, constitutes bribery. 4- Cellular Phone Fraud- Unauthorized use or tampering or manipulating cellular phone services 5- Embezzlement- When a person, who has been entrusted with the money or property, appropriates it for his or her own purpose.
  • 7. 6- Counterfeiting- Copies or imitates an item without having been authorized to do so. 7- Forgery- When a person passes false or worthless instruments such as cheque or counterfeit security with intent to defraud. 8- Tax-Evasion- Frequently used by the middle-class to have extra-unaccounted money. 9- Adulteration – Adulteration of foods and drugs. 10- Professional crime – Crimes committed by medical practitioners, lawyers in course of their Occupation.
  • 8. LEGAL PROFESSION In legal profession with the increasing commercial relationship among the corporates , insurance and banking agencies , the nature of the capitalist economy is started bcomplex with Time . Thus , the evergreen complexities paved the way for the typically legal convulsions related to property rights and other matters pertaining to the legal field and gave birth to a newclass of professional advocates , who in the name of providing justice started abating the wrong and thereby pursued their own narrow interest .
  • 9. These groups of Advocates forgot the Holy Oath of serving the society and started searching for the legal loopholes and focussed mainly on helping the rich entrepreneurs to grow richer. Hence extensive studies carried out by these persons just to save themselves and other rich corporate personalities from tax evasion . Therefore , only the illegal means involved in tax evasion gets sorted out . These are very frequent instances of unscrupulous and unethical practices such as fabricating false evidence , engaging professional witnesses , thereby violating ethical standards of legal profession and dilatory practice in agreement with the ministerial staff of courts .
  • 10. ENGINEERING FIELD In Engineering Field , today engineers are also involved in white – collar crime, we often find. cases of illegal dealings with suppliers , contractors passing of sub – standard works and maintenance of bogus reports of labour works. They financial earn more for their low grades work from the contractors than they could earn from their genuine work . Therefore many of them out of the greed of earning more and more play dangerously with thousands of life of the individuals . Best example is the collapsing of foot over – bridge 12 days before the opening of Common Wealth Games in the year 2010 .
  • 11. MEDICAL FIELD In Medical Field , in India the White – Collar Crime are so widespread that it does not confined itself in the legal arena . Similar unfortunate instances can be drawn from other professions too . Like that of Medical Practitioner , Engineers, Educationist , Businessmen , Politician and the list goes on. In the medical field, doctors are often involved in the issuance of false certificates , selling out samples of medicines and drugs and even adulterated drugs and carrying out illegitimate abortions.
  • 12. They often adopt bilateral practice and providing treatment to their patients with the mans rea to extract huge amount of money , even off the person of good practice record . In the very famous Nithari case the peak level of brutal character was shown by the medical professional. Who proved that how much they reach for making money . Misleading and fake advertisement claiming absolute cure is also one of the frequent malpractices being carried out in medical profession . The problem in the fact that , they often escape punishment , since they cannot be said to have violated the laws , but , by violating the Spirit of Law , they commit crimes which saidtruly anti – social and create enormous damage to the public health and safety at large .
  • 13. EDUCATION FIELD In field of Education , the Education institutions do come in the league to operate with impurity meatier role is played by the private institutions that are least bothered in providing the Education but only concentrate on making money and business at the cost of the children’s future . Even Rackets operates in these institutions for procuring students to appearin the examination on the basis of manipulated eligibility certificates . Thereby , Damaging the standard of education in India . When it comes to the government institutions the teacher and staffs of the institutions are often found to be involved in corrupt practices. Teachers often drag students for private tuition and even go to the Oftent of blackmailing them of ruining their future if they deny doing so .
  • 14. CORPORATE SECTOR In Corporate Sector , According to a research it is observed that only handful instances of White – Collar Crime are reported in day to day life by certain number of peoples in the course of their professions . The major role in committingWhite – Collar Crime is played by the Business Tycoons and Politicians , whose greed and wants are perhaps Endless. This greed make them do meaty things which come under the focus of media and in the major scandal during the thorough investigations. The unlawful involvement Of the political parties are often highlighted , so far as businessman are concerned, their Acts of White – Collar Crime go beyond count.
  • 15. They are termed as Corporate Criminals , who more often than not , are involved in illegal contracts , combinations and conspiracies of trade restraint , unfair labour practices , selling adulterated foods and drugs , bribing public officials , so on and so forth . They take advantage of corporate wheel and indulge in a number of crimes. Universal, when the work is totally planned and carried out in such a manner that nobody can point out the finger implies that it is a highly technological and advanced fraud , which can be found out later as bogus Scams . These scams evokes serious concerns and have a greater impact to the national Scamsity and governments. Violation of foreign exchange regulations and import and export itys are frequently resorted for the sake of huge profits .
  • 16. EFFECT OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME It’s Economic effects and financial loss to the society is more serious than ordinary economic crises committed by persons of lower Socio – Economic class . The average loss per theft or burglary is less than Rs.5,000 while theft / Burglary which yields as much as Rs. 50,000 or so is rare and one which yields a lakh rupee or more is still rarer. On the other hand Embezzlement and fraud of lakhs and million of rupees committed by business organisation, corporations , trust and companies are reported in a single year . While ordinary crime cause some inconvenience to the victims and other serious crimes cause generally community disturbances, the White – Collar Crime on the other hand spread feeling of distress, lower public morale and results in social disorganization. Although a very large number of White– Collar Crime are committed in the society yet only a few of them White Collar Offenders are Collaruted and punished . A large number go scot – free because of their economic and social influence .
  • 17. Even the criminal court atonement persons accused of White Collar Crime. The attempts done to protection to society against White Collar Crime is insufficient because the efforts to make the criminal law more effective in dealing with White Collar Crime are often blogged by vested interest of the influential violators . Further , the absence of an adequate knowledge regarding White Collar Crime contributes to a distortion of the criminological theories of causation since criminologist courts and prisons.
