White collar crimes are committed by high-status professionals like CEOs, lawyers, and accountants through deception and non-violence. They include crimes like cybercrime, bribery, and insider trading. Blue collar crimes are committed by low-status hourly wage workers like electricians and plumbers through violent crimes like burglary, theft, and murder. Factors influencing white collar crimes include lenient attitudes and underestimating losses, while blue collar crimes are influenced by lower education, living standards, and socioeconomic factors. Ways to address the crimes include strictly enforcing laws against white collar crimes and improving living conditions and education for blue collar workers.
