WHITE COLLAR CRIME IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY 4TH ED.
CHAPTER 5
GOVERNMENTAL CRIME:
STATE CRIME AND POLITICAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME
Trusted Criminals
Designed by: Jordan Land, M.S.
Governmental Crime: Some Basic CrimesAbuse of power is perhaps the broadest charge of governmental crime - it has no fixed meaning
In its broader meaning, abuse of power occurs when the state assumes and exercises power it ought not to have
The full range of governmental abuses of power entails many forms of harm, including violations of universally defined basic human rights
Governmental Crime: Some Basic CrimesA second basic concept associated with governmental crime is corruption
Political corruption most typically involves the misuse of political office for material advantage, although it also encompasses acts undertaken for political advantage
Bribery is probably the activity most closely associated with political corruption
Governmental Crime: Some Basic CrimesThe concept of political scandal is important to our understanding of state crime and political white collar crime
Such scandals are most likely to occur when a basic division of power exists in society, when a major external threat to society is lacking, and when politicians violate widely supported norms about proper conduct in political office
Governmental Criminality on an Epic ScaleAt its most extreme, anarchism holds that the state is a criminal enterprise
If unjustly depriving people of their property, their way of life, and their very lives is regarded as criminal, conquests and state sanctioned wars are governmental crimes of extraordinary scope
Over time, the state became the largest and most efficient users of violence, a dubious distinction it originally shared with bandits and pirates
Governmental Criminality on an Epic ScaleWar crimes are:The use of poisonous gases, biological and chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, and mines, indiscriminate attacks against civilians, etc.
Only captured members of the losing side have been brought to account for war crimes
Most war crimes go unpunished
The Vietnam WarThe U.S. engagement in the Vietnam War was illegal under U.S. law because Congress never specifically declared war, which is required by the ConstitutionSome observers consider the destruction of millions of arable acres and hardwood forests to be an ecological crime of immense proportionsNo president, cabinet officer, or other high-level civilian or military official involved in the pursuit of the Vietnam War has ever been required to provide a formal defense for their policy decisions
U.S. Military Activity
in the “New World Order”
More recent U.S. military ventures were all criticized in some quarters as criminal actions
Despite some history of antiwar mobilization, most conspicuously during the Vietnam War, the more enduring theme in American culture has resisted the imputation of criminality to American acts of war

Following Obama’s choreographed attack on the Second

Security announced it will join the administration, the Justice
Department and the FBI in a renewed attack on firearms.
After putting a box of old poetry manuscripts in the trash, a professor was reported to police by a student as a "Middle Eastern man" acting suspiciously. This led to an evacuation of campus buildings and cancellation of classes as the bomb squad investigated. It was revealed to be just recycling. However, the incident showed how an innocent action by a person of color can be viewed as a threat due to a culture of fear and profiling. While the university denied the report was racially motivated, the professor was deeply troubled by the profiling and atmosphere of suspicion it revealed.
A chat with Ai.
A dialogue pertaining to abuses at the micro and macro levels targeting the Black community. As global war with above nuclear escalations and mass extinction event actions immanent, it is the most vulnerable who suffer and die while leadership claims the issues aren't important enough to matter because protecting the lies that created all these factors are more important. Pushing past 90 seconds to midnight as if Earth too doesn't matter, all that does is predation of white supremacy predators.
The document discusses the evolution of the US Criminal Justice System from the mid-1940s to present day. Key events that shaped the system include the civil rights movement, Vietnam War protests, rising crime rates, and 9/11 terrorist attacks. These events eroded public confidence in law enforcement and led to reforms aimed at restoring order while balancing civil liberties and safety. Federal programs in the 1960s and 70s provided funds to improve policing and courts but also imposed standards around issues like racism and use of force. While reforms helped reduce crime, new threats like terrorism continue to test the balance of safety and individual freedom.
The document discusses the history and impacts of the Patriot Act passed after 9/11. It summarizes that the Act allowed increased intelligence sharing but infringed on civil liberties. While security needed improving after 9/11, the government should not violate constitutional rights. A balance is needed to protect both liberty and security.
Political Prisoners, Prisons, and Black Liberation-by Dr. Angela Y. DavisRBG Communiversity
This document discusses the history of political prisoners and civil disobedience in the fight against injustice and oppression, particularly regarding slavery and racism in the US. It argues that acts of resistance, even if illegal, have often been necessary and justified when opposing unjust laws and social conditions that directly threaten or exploit oppressed groups. Throughout history, black liberation movements have had to violate laws in order to defend themselves and advance their cause for freedom and equality. The document asserts that officials often label such political acts as merely criminal in order to discredit resistance movements and preserve the status quo of oppression.
The United States can perfectly better serve its security interest.docxssusera34210
The United States can perfectly better serve its security interests, under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and subject itself to the constraints of international law, provided that the aggressions of the International Criminal Court are limited to cases approved by the Security Council of the United Nations. This would effectively protect the United States against a possible prosecution while it would allow to control, through its veto in the Security Council, other prosecutions. Otherwise the United States would fall under a double standard, when they seek to control the behavior of other Governments, without accepting the corresponding limitations of their own conduct.
Serious violations of human rights and war crimes committed during the Second World War demonstrated the need to implement mechanisms to prosecute those responsible for these atrocities. In this way, the international community decided back then to create tribunals in Nuremberg and Tokyo, formed by both in the first step towards the consolidation of international criminal justice. The Cold War prevented the establishment of an International Criminal Court of a permanent nature, a difficulty that would be extended until the end of the 1980's, with the fall of the Berlin wall, a possibility was newly opened by creating a court with universal jurisdiction for the most serious cases of violation of human rights and international humanitarian law, which was accentuated with the humanitarian crises that occurred by the civil wars in Rwanda and Yugoslavia.
The ICC formed by 120 States adopted in 1998, the Rome Statute, is the first international jurisdiction with universal vocation and aspiration; competent to prosecute individuals for crimes of war, genocide, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression. Added to these serious crimes, at the request of the Court itself, were sexual offenses, torture as an illegal instrument of war and the elimination of "receiving a higher order", as a valid defense of criminal responsibility or liability. It should be emphasized that the ICC is a complementary body of the national jurisdiction, and is only competent in cases where the state cannot or does not want to prosecute the accused. However, the United States did not ratify it, and even withdrew its signature from the Rome Statute and proceeded to begin a campaign against the ICC. The ICC has jurisdiction only with respect to crimes committed after the entry into force of the Statute which was the first of July 2002, and the Court may only exercise its jurisdiction if the State on whose territory the crime in question has occurred, or the State of nationality of the accused of the crime, is part of the Rome Statute, and if not being so, agrees to accept such jurisdiction by expressing declaration. As we said ut supra the United States did not sign the Rome Statute, with which the ICC has no jurisdiction over its nationals. The signatory states pledged ...
This document provides a summary of American history and government that contradicts the standard narrative. It claims that America is not a free country but a privately owned French corporation controlled by European royal families and elites. It alleges two US presidents were not American citizens and that many politicians, judges, and lawyers are secretly working for foreign powers to undermine the country. It aims to expose hidden truths about events and reveal how average citizens have been deceived about the true nature of the US system of government.

Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. H.docxhelzerpatrina
Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it.
Aggression Case Study
Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation.
1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers).
2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario?
3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door?
4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember?

Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after rep.docxhelzerpatrina
“Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after repeat coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her family lived nearby when Mrs. Walsh had her first CABG surgery. They had moved out of town but returned to our institution, where the first surgery had been performed successfully. Mrs. Walsh remained critically ill and unstable for several weeks before her death. Her family was very anxious because of Mrs. Walsh’s unstable and deteriorating condition, and a family member was always with her 24 hours a day for the first few weeks.
The nurse became involved with this family while Mrs. Walsh was still in surgery, because family members were very anxious that the procedure was taking longer than it had the first time and made repeated calls to the critical care unit to ask about the patient. The nurse met with the family and offered to go into the operating room to talk with the cardiac surgeon to better inform the family of their mother’s status.
One of the helpful things the nurse did to assist this family was to establish a consistent group of nurses to work with Mrs. Walsh, so that family members could establish trust and feel more confident about the care their mother was receiving. This eventually enabled family members to leave the hospital for intervals to get some rest. The nurse related that this was a family whose members were affluent, educated, and well informed, and that they came in prepared with lists of questions. A consistent group of nurses who were familiar with Mrs. Walsh’s particular situation helped both family members and nurses to be more satisfied and less anxious. The family developed a close relationship with the three nurses who consistently cared for Mrs. Walsh and shared with them details about Mrs. Walsh and her life.
The nurse related that there was a tradition in this particular critical care unit not to involve family members in care. She broke that tradition when she responded to the son’s and the daughter’s helpless feelings by teaching them some simple things that they could do for their mother. They learned to give some basic care, such as bathing her. The nurse acknowledged that involving family members in direct patient care with a critically ill patient is complex and requires knowledge and sensitivity. She believes that a developmental process is involved when nurses learn to work with families.
She noted that after a nurse has lots of experience and feels very comfortable with highly technical skills, it becomes okay for family members to be in the room when care is provided. She pointed out that direct observation by anxious family members can be disconcerting to those who are insecure with their skills when family members ask things like, “Why are you doing this? Nurse ‘So and So’ does it differently.” She commented that nurses learn to be flexible and to reset priorities. They should be able to let some things wait that do not need to be done right away to give the family some.

An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nur.

Geely to build satellites for self-driving cars - Financial Times (US), 3/4... https://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/FTUS/PrintArticle.aspx?d...

CHRISTIAN SHEPHERD — BEIJING
Geely is aiming to be the first China carmaker to design and build satellites to support its autonomous driving programme, the latest step by founder Li Shufu in his bid to build an industry leader.
Geely, which owns Swedish brand Volvo Cars, Malaysia’s Proton, and a stake in Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler, will invest Rmb2.27bn ($325m) in a new development centre and factory to manufacture satellites this year, the company said yesterday.
The announcement makes Geely the first known Chinese carmaker with plans to build its own satellites. Mr Li’s move sparked comparisons in China media with Elon Musk, founder of electric carmaker Tesla and private space exploration company SpaceX.
Last month Geely drew comparisons with Volkswagen when Mr Li’s holding group announced plans to merge Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars, moving the company towards becoming the first global Chinese carmaker.
Che Jun, Communist party boss of China’s eastern Zhejiang province, where Geely is based, said that the complex would be built in Taizhou city and that construction had begun.
The centre will design, test and manufacture low-orbit communication satellites, purpose-built to improve geolocation of vehicles and to support their connected functions, Geely said.
Geely has been pouring money into new technologies from self-driving cars to flying taxis, spending Rmb20bn on research and development in the past year.
The investments are part of the group’s spend on global expansion, such as buying a $9bn stake in Daimler.
The announcement comes as the coronavirus outbre.

Motivations to Support Charity-Linked Events After Exposure to
Facebook Appeals: Emotional Cause Identification and Distinct
Self-Determined Regulations

Nonprofit organizations are increasingly dependent on the involvement of Millennial
constituencies. Three studies investigated their motivations to support charity-linked
events: emotional identification with a cause, self-determination theory (SDT) regula-
tions, and context-related Facebook promotions. This article addresses the recent call to
expand SDT research from a simple analysis of autonomous versus controlled moti-
vation, to studying the effects of all the regulations in the SDT continuum, in particular,
the inclusion of the tripartite dimensions of intrinsic motivation and integrated moti-
vation. Results demonstrated that the greater the emotional identification with the
cause, the stronger was the tendency to support the charity-linked event. Also, the
results in these social media contexts revealed that specific intrinsic dimensions (e.g.,
experience stimulation) are motivators of online and offline support, as is the personal
value nature of integrated regulation. Whereas only autonomous motivational regula-
tions predicted support for the two events organized specifically a for charitable causes,
both autonomous and controlled regulations predicted support of a for-profit event
organized with a charitable cause as an adjunct. These findings can assist practitioners
in designing more effective social media communications in support of charity-linked
events.
Keywords: social media, self-determination theory, integrated regulation, tripartite
model of intrinsic motivation, charitable causes

Social media is a new domain offering excit-
ing opportunities to investigate research ques-
tions in social psychology (Greitemeyer, 2011;
Kende, Ujhelyi, Joinson, & Greitemeyer, 2015).
Our research examined motivation to support
charity-linked events of nonprofit organizations
that are currently faced with increased compe-
tition for resources and declining government
support (Paulin, Ferguson, Jost, & Fallu, 2014;
Reed, Aquino, & Levy, 2007; White & Peloza,
2009). Presently, they depend on an ageing set
of traditional supporters (Urbain, Gonzalez, &
Le Gall-Ely, 2013). However, their future suc-
cess lies in ensuring the sustainable involve-
ment of the Millennial generation (Fine, 2009),
distinguished from other generations by their
intense exposure at an early age to interactive
technology and social media (Bolton et al.,
2013).
Facebook, the most detailed social media, is
used primarily to maintain or solidify existing
offline relationships allowing people to develop
a public or semipublic profile and to emotion-
ally participate with those whom they can share

Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after.docxhelzerpatrina
“Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after repeat coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her family lived nearby when Mrs. Walsh had her first CABG surgery. They had moved out of town but returned to our institution, where the first surgery had been performed successfully. Mrs. Walsh remained critically ill and unstable for several weeks before her death. Her family was very anxious because of Mrs. Walsh’s unstable and deteriorating condition, and a family member was always with her 24 hours a day for the first few weeks.
The nurse became involved with this family while Mrs. Walsh was still in surgery, because family members were very anxious that the procedure was taking longer than it had the first time and made repeated calls to the critical care unit to ask about the patient. The nurse met with the family and offered to go into the operating room to talk with the cardiac surgeon to better inform the family of their mother’s status.
· One of the helpful things the nurse did to assist this family was to establish a consistent group of nurses to work with Mrs. Walsh, so that family members could establish trust and feel more confident about the care their mother was receiving. This eventually enabled family members to leave the hospital for intervals to get some rest. The nurse related that this was a family whose members were affluent, educated, and well informed, and that they came in prepared with lists of questions. A consistent group of nurses who were familiar with Mrs. Walsh’s particular situation helped both family members and nurses to be more satisfied and less anxious. The family developed a close relationship with the three nurses who consistently cared for Mrs. Walsh and shared with them details about Mrs. Walsh and her life.
· The nurse related that there was a tradition in this particular critical care unit not to involve family members in care. She broke that tradition when she responded to the son’s and the daughter’s helpless feelings by teaching them some simple things that they could do for their mother. They learned to give some basic care, such as bathing her. The nurse acknowledged that involving family members in direct patient care with a critically ill patient is complex and requires knowledge and sensitivity. She believes that a developmental process is involved when nurses learn to work with families.
· She noted that after a nurse has lots of experience and feels very comfortable with highly technical skills, it becomes okay for family members to be in the room when care is provided. She pointed out that direct observation by anxious family members can be disconcerting to those who are insecure with their skills when family members ask things like, “Why are you doing this? Nurse ‘So and So’ does it differently.” She commented that nurses learn to be flexible and to reset priorities. They should be able to let some things wait that do not need to be done right away to give the famil.

Monica asked that we meet to see if I could help to reduce the differences between them. When the time came, she started the conversation by saying that Richard wasn’t saving any money at all. They hadn’t started implementing. She said he spent a good deal of time buy- ing and selling stocks. He seemed to be influenced by the weekly ups and downs of the market. At least temporarily, however, he had raised the quality of the stocks he was buying.
Richard seemed a little annoyed and said that Monica never wanted to sell any securities. She almost always told him to wait. She said the shares would come back. When I asked what money meant to them, Richard said an opportunity to gamble and Monica replied a chance to lose what you’ve accumulated. As far as their long-term goals were concerned, Richard said he had no real long-term goals. The future was too fickle. He said who knew what fate had in store for them. Monica’s goal was to feel secure. I had the feeling that her remark was in response to Richard’s behavior. She wouldn’t allow herself to think of anything beyond security until Richard’s activities could be controlled.
Case Application Questions
1. What should be done about Richard’s spending?
2. What kind of investment behavior is Richard demonstrating?What can be done about it? 3. What is Monica’s investment behavior called? How can it be helped?

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. H.docxhelzerpatrina
Most patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it.
Aggression Case Study
Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation.
1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers).
2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario?
3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door?
4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember?

An Older Immigrant Couple: Mr. and Mrs. Arahan Mr. and Mrs. Arahan, an older couple in their seventies, have been living with their oldest daughter, her husband of 15 years, and their two children, ages 12 and 14. They all live in a middle-income neighborhood in a suburb of a metropolitan city. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan are both college educated and worked full-time while they were in their native country. In addition, Mr. Arahan, the only offspring of wealthy parents, inherited a substantial amount of money and real estate. Their daughter came to the United States as a registered nurse and met her husband, a drug company representative. The older couple moved to the United States when their daughter became a U.S. citizen and petitioned them as immigrants. Since the couple was facing retirement, they welcomed the opportunity to come to the United States. The Arahans found life in the United States different from that in their home country, but their adjustment was not as difficult because both were healthy and spoke English fluently. Most of their time was spent taking care of their two grandchildren and the house. As the grandchildren grew older, the older couple found that they had more spare time. The daughter and her husband advanced in their careers and spent a great deal more time at their jobs. There were few family dinners during the week. On weekends, the daughter, her husband, and their children socialized with their own friends. The couple began to feel isolated and longed for a more active life. Mr. and Mrs. Arahan began to think that perhaps they should return to the home country, where they still had relatives and friends. However, political and economic issues would have made it difficult for them to live there. Besides, they had become accustomed to the way of life in the United States with all the modern conveniences and abundance of goods that were difficult to obtain in their country. However, they also became concerned that they might not be able to tolerate the winter months and that minor health problems might worsen as they aged. They wondered who would take care of them if they became very frail and where they would live, knowing that their daughter had only saved money for their grandchildren’s college education. They expressed their sentiments to their daughter, who became very concerned about how her parents were feeling. This older couple had been attending church on a regular basis, but had never been active in other church-related activities. The church bulletin announced the establishment of parish nursing with two retired registered nurses as volunteers. The couple attended the first opening of the parish clinic. Here, they met one of the registered nur.

Geely to build satellites for self-driving cars - Financial Times (US), 3/4... https://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/FTUS/PrintArticle.aspx?d...
Automobiles
CHRISTIAN SHEPHERD — BEIJING
Geely is aiming to be the first China carmaker to design and build satellites to support its autonomous driving programme, the latest step by founder Li Shufu in his bid to build an industry leader.
Geely, which owns Swedish brand Volvo Cars, Malaysia’s Proton, and a stake in Mercedes-Benz owner Daimler, will invest Rmb2.27bn ($325m) in a new development centre and factory to manufacture satellites this year, the company said yesterday.
The announcement makes Geely the first known Chinese carmaker with plans to build its own satellites. Mr Li’s move sparked comparisons in China media with Elon Musk, founder of electric carmaker Tesla and private space exploration company SpaceX.
Last month Geely drew comparisons with Volkswagen when Mr Li’s holding group announced plans to merge Geely Automobile and Volvo Cars, moving the company towards becoming the first global Chinese carmaker.
Che Jun, Communist party boss of China’s eastern Zhejiang province, where Geely is based, said that the complex would be built in Taizhou city and that construction had begun.
The centre will design, test and manufacture low-orbit communication satellites, purpose-built to improve geolocation of vehicles and to support their connected functions, Geely said.
Geely has been pouring money into new technologies from self-driving cars to flying taxis, spending Rmb20bn on research and development in the past year.
The investments are part of the group’s spend on global expansion, such as buying a $9bn stake in Daimler.
The announcement comes as the coronavirus outbre.

Motivations to Support Charity-Linked Events After Exposure to
Facebook Appeals: Emotional Cause Identification and Distinct
Self-Determined Regulations
Kaspar Schattke
Université du Québec à Montréal
Ronald Ferguson and Michèle Paulin
Concordia University
Nonprofit organizations are increasingly dependent on the involvement of Millennial
constituencies. Three studies investigated their motivations to support charity-linked
events: emotional identification with a cause, self-determination theory (SDT) regula-
tions, and context-related Facebook promotions. This article addresses the recent call to
expand SDT research from a simple analysis of autonomous versus controlled moti-
vation, to studying the effects of all the regulations in the SDT continuum, in particular,
the inclusion of the tripartite dimensions of intrinsic motivation and integrated moti-
vation. Results demonstrated that the greater the emotional identification with the
cause, the stronger was the tendency to support the charity-linked event. Also, the
results in these social media contexts revealed that specific intrinsic dimensions (e.g.,
experience stimulation) are motivators of online and offline support, as is the personal
value nature of integrated regulation. Whereas only autonomous motivational regula-
tions predicted support for the two events organized specifically a for charitable causes,
both autonomous and controlled regulations predicted support of a for-profit event
organized with a charitable cause as an adjunct. These findings can assist practitioners
in designing more effective social media communications in support of charity-linked
events.

Social media is a new domain offering excit-
ing opportunities to investigate research ques-
tions in social psychology (Greitemeyer, 2011;
Kende, Ujhelyi, Joinson, & Greitemeyer, 2015).
Our research examined motivation to support
charity-linked events of nonprofit organizations
that are currently faced with increased compe-
tition for resources and declining government
support (Paulin, Ferguson, Jost, & Fallu, 2014;
Reed, Aquino, & Levy, 2007; White & Peloza,
2009). Presently, they depend on an ageing set
of traditional supporters (Urbain, Gonzalez, &
Le Gall-Ely, 2013). However, their future suc-
cess lies in ensuring the sustainable involve-
ment of the Millennial generation (Fine, 2009),
distinguished from other generations by their
intense exposure at an early age to interactive
technology and social media (Bolton et al.,
2013).
Facebook, the most detailed social media, is
used primarily to maintain or solidify existing
offline relationships allowing people to develop
a public or semipublic profile and to emotion-
ally participate with those whom they can share

Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after.docxhelzerpatrina
“Mrs. Walsh, a woman in her 70s, was in critical condition after repeat coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Her family lived nearby when Mrs. Walsh had her first CABG surgery. They had moved out of town but returned to our institution, where the first surgery had been performed successfully. Mrs. Walsh remained critically ill and unstable for several weeks before her death. Her family was very anxious because of Mrs. Walsh’s unstable and deteriorating condition, and a family member was always with her 24 hours a day for the first few weeks.
The nurse became involved with this family while Mrs. Walsh was still in surgery, because family members were very anxious that the procedure was taking longer than it had the first time and made repeated calls to the critical care unit to ask about the patient. The nurse met with the family and offered to go into the operating room to talk with the cardiac surgeon to better inform the family of their mother’s status.
· One of the helpful things the nurse did to assist this family was to establish a consistent group of nurses to work with Mrs. Walsh, so that family members could establish trust and feel more confident about the care their mother was receiving. This eventually enabled family members to leave the hospital for intervals to get some rest. The nurse related that this was a family whose members were affluent, educated, and well informed, and that they came in prepared with lists of questions. A consistent group of nurses who were familiar with Mrs. Walsh’s particular situation helped both family members and nurses to be more satisfied and less anxious. The family developed a close relationship with the three nurses who consistently cared for Mrs. Walsh and shared with them details about Mrs. Walsh and her life.
· The nurse related that there was a tradition in this particular critical care unit not to involve family members in care. She broke that tradition when she responded to the son’s and the daughter’s helpless feelings by teaching them some simple things that they could do for their mother. They learned to give some basic care, such as bathing her. The nurse acknowledged that involving family members in direct patient care with a critically ill patient is complex and requires knowledge and sensitivity. She believes that a developmental process is involved when nurses learn to work with families.
· She noted that after a nurse has lots of experience and feels very comfortable with highly technical skills, it becomes okay for family members to be in the room when care is provided. She pointed out that direct observation by anxious family members can be disconcerting to those who are insecure with their skills when family members ask things like, “Why are you doing this? Nurse ‘So and So’ does it differently.” She commented that nurses learn to be flexible and to reset priorities. They should be able to let some things wait that do not need to be done right away to give the famil.

Monica asked that we meet to see if I could help to reduce the differences between them. When the time came, she started the conversation by saying that Richard wasn’t saving any money at all. They hadn’t started implementing. She said he spent a good deal of time buy- ing and selling stocks. He seemed to be influenced by the weekly ups and downs of the market. At least temporarily, however, he had raised the quality of the stocks he was buying.
Richard seemed a little annoyed and said that Monica never wanted to sell any securities. She almost always told him to wait. She said the shares would come back. When I asked what money meant to them, Richard said an opportunity to gamble and Monica replied a chance to lose what you’ve accumulated. As far as their long-term goals were concerned, Richard said he had no real long-term goals. The future was too fickle. He said who knew what fate had in store for them. Monica’s goal was to feel secure. I had the feeling that her remark was in response to Richard’s behavior. She wouldn’t allow herself to think of anything beyond security until Richard’s activities could be controlled.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

WHITE COLLAR CRIME IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY 4TH ED. C.docx
1. WHITE COLLAR CRIME IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY
4TH ED.
CHAPTER 5
GOVERNMENTAL CRIME:
STATE CRIME AND POLITICAL WHITE COLLAR CRIME
Trusted Criminals
Designed by: Jordan Land, M.S.
Governmental Crime: Some Basic CrimesAbuse of power is
perhaps the broadest charge of governmental crime - it has no
fixed meaning
In its broader meaning, abuse of power occurs when the state
assumes and exercises power it ought not to have
The full range of governmental abuses of power entails many
forms of harm, including violations of universally defined basic
human rights
Governmental Crime: Some Basic CrimesA second basic
concept associated with governmental crime is corruption
Political corruption most typically involves the misuse of
political office for material advantage, although it also
encompasses acts undertaken for political advantage
Bribery is probably the activity most closely associated with
political corruption
2. Governmental Crime: Some Basic CrimesThe concept of
political scandal is important to our understanding of state
crime and political white collar crime
Such scandals are most likely to occur when a basic division of
power exists in society, when a major external threat to society
is lacking, and when politicians violate widely supported norms
about proper conduct in political office
Governmental Criminality on an Epic ScaleAt its most extreme,
anarchism holds that the state is a criminal enterprise
If unjustly depriving people of their property, their way of life,
and their very lives is regarded as criminal, conquests and state
sanctioned wars are governmental crimes of extraordinary scope
Over time, the state became the largest and most efficient users
of violence, a dubious distinction it originally shared with
bandits and pirates
Governmental Criminality on an Epic ScaleWar crimes are:The
use of poisonous gases, biological and chemical weapons,
nuclear weapons, and mines, indiscriminate attacks against
civilians, etc.
Only captured members of the losing side have been brought to
account for war crimes
Most war crimes go unpunished
The Vietnam WarThe U.S. engagement in the Vietnam War was
illegal under U.S. law because Congress never specifically
3. declared war, which is required by the ConstitutionSome
observers consider the destruction of millions of arable acres
and hardwood forests to be an ecological crime of immense
proportionsNo president, cabinet officer, or other high-level
civilian or military official involved in the pursuit of the
Vietnam War has ever been required to provide a formal defense
for their policy decisions
U.S. Military Activity
in the “New World Order”
More recent U.S. military ventures were all criticized in some
quarters as criminal actions
Despite some history of antiwar mobilization, most
conspicuously during the Vietnam War, the more enduring
theme in American culture has resisted the imputation of
criminality to American acts of war
Forms of State Criminality
Criminal state is when some form of state criminality becomes a
dominant force in the operation of the state
Accusations of state criminality are subjective and likely to
incorporate an ideological dimension
The Criminal StateThe controversial notion of a criminal state
is most commonly applied to the ultimate criminal enterprise
wherein the state is used as an instrument to commit crimes
against humanity
4. Such as genocideGenocide refers to a deliberate state policy of
mass killing directed at some identifiable group or people
Ethnic cleansing has also been invoked in the recent era to
describe large-scale killing of such groups
The Criminal StateThe Holocaust perpetuated by the Nazis
during World War II is perhaps the single most dramatic, fully
documented, and extreme case of genocide ever
The Nuremberg Trials generated some controversy over the
question of whether the Nazi leaders could be tried by the Allies
when no fully recognized international criminal law existedAnd
whether some of the Nazis’ alleged war crimes were
substantially different from those committed by the Allies
The Criminal StateSince the post-World War II trials, it has
proven difficult to bring perpetrators of genocides and ethnic
cleansing to justice, and much of the world has been quite
indifferent to these events
The United States was one of the few countries unwilling to
endorse the establishment of a permanent International Criminal
Court as a means in the 21st century of bringing perpetrators of
state crime to justice
The Repressive StateA repressive state systematically deprives
its citizens of fundamental human rights
Human rights are rights humans are naturally entitled to - what
the Declaration of Independence so eloquently called “Life,
Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”
Until World War I, the matter of human rights was essentially a
domestic concern
5. The Repressive StateThe United Nations was formed after
World War II, partly in response to the gross and conspicuous
abuse of the most fundamental human rights by the totalitarian
governments of the time
Though the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human
Rights of 1948 identified a long list of fundamental human
rights, the United Nations has not been able to impose these
standards on any government
The Repressive State
The principle motivating factor in the imposition of a repressive
system of government is the extension or retention of power,
often for its own sake
The Corrupt StateCorrupt state refers to a government used as
an instrument to enrich its leadership
Although corruption is thought of principally as a major
function of economic crime against citizens of a
countryCorruption kills when it plays a role in building
collapses during “natural” disasters like earthquakes
Corruption is virtually an institutionalized part of the political
system in some countries
The Corrupt StateWhat accounts for such entrenched patterns of
corruption?Absence of a civil service “work ethic”, extreme
economic inequality, a lack of disciplined leadership, extensive
6. bureaucratic powers, cultural norms favoring tribal loyalties
over integrity, and the absence of countervailing forces such as
opposition parties or a free pressIf political corruption is to be
diminished, a fundamental transformation of the entire
administrative structure and related cultural norms must take
place
State Negligence State negligence describes a situation in which
“crimes of omission” are committed
The state fails to prevent loss of human life, suffering, and
deprivation that are in its power to preventMalfeasance- doing
something you are prohibited from doingNonfeasance- failing to
do something you are required to doMisfeasance- performing a
permissible act in an improper manner
State Negligence The most serious form of negligent state
criminality involves the unnecessary and premature loss of life
that occurs when the government and its agents fail to act
affirmatively in certain situationsHurricane Katrina has been
characterized as a form of state crime of omission
The concept of state negligence could be extended to include
inadequate or inefficient government responses to poverty in
general, to crime, to environmental degradation, and the like
State-Organized CrimeState-organized crimes are acts defined
by law as criminal and committed by state officials in pursuit of
their job as representatives of the state
Piracy is one of the earliest forms of state-organized crime
Other forms include:State complicity in smuggling,
assassinations, criminal conspiracies, spying on citizens,
7. diverting funds illegally, etc.
State-Organized CrimeThe U.S. government has had a long
history of direct involvement in overthrowing foreign
governmentsWhile these operations have been justified by a
rhetoric of liberation or national security, there is much
evidence that the interests of Americans businesses were often
at the core of these military venturesIn the modern era, states
have been accused of carrying out state crime terrorism directly
when they engage in massive bombing of civilian populations
The White House and State-Organized CrimeSome of the most
significant state-organized crime in the U.S. has emanated
directly from the White HousePresident Nixon had secret
wiretaps that were used against journalists and government
officials suspected of being disloyal to the White House agenda
in Vietnam and elsewhereThis improper wiretapping scheme
provided a basis for one of the articles of impeachment drawn
up against President Nixon
The White House and State-Organized CrimeThe single most
celebrated case of state-organized crime was the Iran-Contra
Affair
The principal illegality involved was the violation of the Boland
AmendmentProhibited covert aid to the Contras
The Iran-Contra case involved a conspiracy to violate the
Boland Act
8. The Central Intelligence AgencyThe CIA was created after
World War II to prevent another Pearl HarborIn 1975, a
congressional investigation uncovered clear evidence that the
CIA had periodically violated its own charterNew evidence of
this illegal activity surfaced in 2007The CIA has been accused
of having a rightwing bias and of placing its own interests
ahead of other considerations
The Federal Bureau of InvestigationThe FBI generally enjoyed a
reputation for integrity and high professional standardsAfter
Hoover’s death, it emerged that the FBI had been engaging in
warrantless wiretapping and unauthorized domestic spying for
decadesFrom the mid-1950s on, the FBI had engaged in
extralegal and illegal disruption and destabilization of dissident
political groups though COINTELPRO, the umbrella for various
counterintelligence programs
The Federal Bureau of InvestigationOver many decades, Hoover
maintained secret files on public officials
The FBI has sometimes mounted undercover operations and
used deceitful tactics to produce evidence against powerful and
sophisticated white collar and governmental criminals
Police CrimePolice crime can be a form of state-organized
crime involving the abuse of power and can also be an
occupational crime, primarily corruption
It is not always possible to differentiate between organizational
and personal motivations or objective
Police crime involves:Violations of constitutional rights,
excessive use of force, and related illegal acts to fulfill state or
9. departmental objectives
Police CrimeThe most serious form of police brutality is the
sometime-fatal misuse of deadly force
Police brutality has rarely been prosecuted and only in recent
decades has this situation improved with the establishment of
civilian review boards, citizen mobilization and more attentive
press
Other forms of police crime include:Perjury, searches without
warrants, false arrests, and tampering with evidence
Political System CorruptionThe electoral process and inter-
party competition in society promotes forms of corruption
Once politicians gain the power of office, they more often than
not attempt to hold on to it
It has never been illegal for politicians to propose, endorse, or
push through policies and programs that still benefit special
interests and constituents, as long as no direct quid pro quo
exists
Corruption in the Electoral Financing Process
We tend to view political corruption in individualistic terms
because it is easier and more reassuring to focus on individual
wrongdoers
The financing of elections and the related practice of legislative
lobbying are two integral parts of the political system that
promote corruption
10. Corruption in the Electoral Financing Process
Since the federal election financing reforms of the early 1970s,
political action committees (PACs) became a vastly more
important element in the financing of elections
This form of legalized bribery not only gives incumbents an
enormous financial advantage over challengers but has been
demonstrated to influence legislators’ voting records as well
Political White Collar Crime
in the Executive BranchNo U.S. President has been convicted of
using this high office for personal enrichmentMany are alleged
to have engaged in unethical or specifically illegal conduct for
economic gainGeorge Washington was alleged to have engaged
in suspect land deals early in his careerAlthough President
Clinton was accused of various offenses, including perjury,
these charges for the most part did not allege personal
enrichment
Political White Collar Crime
in the Executive Branch
Vice presidents have sometimes been targets of accusations of
wrongdoing
Schuyler Colfax (VP in Ulysses Grant’s first administration)
was accused of accepting bribes and was politically ruined even
though he was never formally charged
Political White Collar Crime
11. in the Executive Branch
Many other high-level members of various presidential
administrations have been charged with specific criminal acts
Samuel Swartout was charged with having embezzled more than
$1 million
The complex intersection of big money and major governmental
power on this level generates endless opportunities for
corruption
Corruption in State Government
In the course of the 20th century, 15 sitting American governors
or former governors were indicted or convicted of such charges
as conspiracy, fraud, perjury, bribery, racketeering and income
tax evasion
These charges typically involved accepting stocks or taking
bribes from contractors and others doing business with the state
in return for political favors
Corruption in State GovernmentCorruption on the state level is
hardly restricted to governors
Countless other state and county officials have been charged
with various forms of corruption
During the colonial period, local governors were often guilty of
embezzling, taking bribes, and reserving for themselves the
right to rent out city property and sell liquor for profit
Corruption in State Government
The single most famous example of political machine corruption
is New York City’s Tammany Hall
The Tweed Ring defrauded the City of New York of up to $200
12. million through vastly inflated purchases and repairs, false
vouchers, fictitious bills and other such devices
Political White Collar Crime
in the Legislative BranchJames Madison believed that Congress
was less corruptible than the executive branch in part because
of its large number of members and diluted powerThe Credit
Mobilier affair was the first major public scandal concerning
congressional corruptionSince this Credit Mobilier affair, major
congressional corruption scandals have erupted in the form
of:JunketingDouble billingFree mailing privilege Using
congressional staff for personal purposes
Political White Collar Crime in the Legislative BranchLobbyists
are often at the center of legislative corruption casesTom DeLay
was forced out of his leadership role and Congressional seat
after being indicted for violation of state election laws and for
corrupt dealings with lobbyistsJack Abramoff bilked Indian
tribes out of millions of dollars while showering gifts, free
travel, and donations on Congressmen and other political
officials
Political White Collar Crime
in the Judicial BranchThe judicial branch has probably been the
least tainted by claims of corruption, but it has not been free of
such claims
Judges have been charged with many
crimes:BriberyExtortionObstructing justiceIncome tax
13. evasionEmbezzlementFraudAbuse of authority
Political White Collar Crime
in the Judicial BranchMany judges so charged have been forced
to resignOthers have been impeached, censured, or
disbarredSome have gone to prisonJudges are in a position to
abuse their considerable powerBecause judges are relatively
well compensated and enjoy considerable prestige, they have
relatively less to gain and much more to lose by engaging in
criminal conduct

CHAPTER 4
OCCUPATIONAL CRIME AND AVOCATIONAL CRIME
Trusted Criminals
Designed by: Jordan Land, M.S.
Retail Crime and Service FraudRetail businesses are often
thought of as victims of crime, whether by pilfering or
embezzling employees, shoplifters, or robbers and burglars
Retail stores engage in a wide range of deceptive and illegal
activitiesFraudulent advertisingIllegal pricing practicesSale of
fraudulently represented merchandisePurchase and resale of
stolen goods
14. Retail CrimePaul Blumberg has documented illegal and
unethical practices by businesses
He identified other deceptive practices in retail
crimeAdulteration of productsShort weighingBait-and-
switchBar-code pricesCollection of taxes on nontaxable
itemsWage theft
Defrauding Vulnerable PeopleIn a study conducted by David
Caplowitz, he found that the poor were:Being overchargedSold
inferior goodsVictimized by deceptive credit practices,
complicated consumer contracts, and lawsuits threatening wage
garnishment
Despite new laws and consumer affairs initiatives, these
fraudulent practices are hardly extinct
Service Business FraudRepair service businesses have a
notorious reputation for cheating customers
Complaints about auto repairs constitute the largest percentage
of consumer complaints according to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
These frauds include:Highway banditsEstimate
scamsMaintenance hook schemesPart replacement problems
Service Business Fraud
Many consumers are unaware that they have been victimized
When they suspect that they have been victimized, they are
skeptical to report the crime because they do not believe that it
15. will lead to effective action
All consumers will be “robbed” by unscrupulous retailers and
entrepreneurs
Medical, Legal, Academic & Religious Crime
Profession refers to occupations characterized by higher
education and training; specialized technical knowledge and
skills, and a high degree of autonomy
Semi-professional has been applied to some occupational groups
such as pharmacists and nurses
Some who claim professional status but lack real
autonomyLawyers, physicians, scientists These individuals
work for large corporations
Medical CrimePhysicians are well compensated, are typically
accorded a high level of trust, and exercise unusual power or
professional dominance over patients
Among the specifically illegal and unethical activities
committed by physicians:Fee splittingTaking or offering
kickbacksPrice fixingUnnecessary operationsFalse and
fraudulent billing
Medical Crime as a Violent CrimeThe performance of
unnecessary surgery is the single most disturbing of medical
crimes
The most common forms of unnecessary surgery are:Removal of
tonsils, hemorrhoids, appendixes and uterusesHeart-related
surgeryCaesarean section deliveriesPerforming unnecessary
surgeries can cause paralysis, blindness or other forms of
permanent injury
16. Medical Crime as FraudMedicaid and Medicare fraud by
physicians have been characterized as an especially “pure” form
of white collar crime because it occurs within the context of
routine occupational activityOverutilization is perhaps the most
common form of medical fraud, and it is especially difficult to
prove and prosecute successfully Specific techniques used in
this fraud are:Ping-ponging, family ganging, steering,
upgrading, code games and unbundling
Legal Crime
Legal crime refers to lawyers engaging in criminal conduct in
the course of discharging their professional duties
It is more common for lawyers to become involved with,
facilitate, or help cover up illegal enterprises while maintaining
primary commitment to the conventional and legitimate tasks of
a lawyer
Legal Crime as Fraud
The intangibility of a lawyer’s work provides special
opportunities for overbilling clients
It is often proven difficult to establish criminal intent in such
cases of alleged fraudulent conduct
Legal Crime as CollusionThe ethics code of the American Bar
Association requires lawyers to keep in strict confidence any
knowledge of a client’s past crimes and prohibits lawyers from
advising or assisting a client in the commission of any illegal or
17. fraudulent act
A number of major insider trading cases in the 1980s involved
criminal charges against lawyers who passed on privileged
information about pending corporate takeovers
Academic Crime:
Professors, Scientists and StudentsThe fact that professors
engage in less occupationally related crime than do doctors and
lawyers is probably more a function of fewer opportunities for
such activity than a matter of greater personal integrity among
professorsAcademic crimes refer to plagiarism, embezzlement
of university discretionary funds, forgery, claims about
credentials, etc.Plagiarism refers to use or misappropriation of
ideas or words of others without giving them credit
Academic Crime:
Professors, Scientists and StudentsOutright embezzlement is
hardly unknown in the academic environment
Administrators and employees often have better opportunities
than professors to embezzle or obtain improper payments
Some academic researchers have taken advantage of the special
access they have to rare and valuable artifacts and manuscripts
to steal these items and sell them for profit
Academic Crime as Fraud
It has proven difficult to develop reliable data on the extent of
scientific fraud, which principally takes the form of fabricating,
manipulating, and suppressing data
18. Claims that outright scientific fraud is rare are commonly made,
but whether or not they are accurate have not typically been
based upon scientific research
Student White Collar CrimeStudents commit various illegal acts
that have nothing to do with white collar crime, including
vandalism, drunkenness, illicit drug use, car theft, etc.
Student white collar crime is best defined as illegal or harmful
conduct committed specifically in the context of their student
roleFor gain or advantageThe clearest form is cheating
Student White Collar CrimeColleges are also concerned that
many applicants engage in “résumé fraud” by making false
claims about their achievements and activities
New technology has greatly increased the opportunity for
cheating
Academic cheating takes many forms:Cheating on exams, home
work and term papers
Religious CrimeReligious crime may be the most disturbing of
all forms of crimes by professionals
Religious leaders may generate a bottomless well of trust among
gullible believers
Some religious leaders have defrauded believers and used
offerings or donations for corrupt purposes
Employee CrimeEmployees stealing from their employers is one
of the more common images of white collar crimeWhen
19. managers steal, losses average $250,000Executives and
managers are often in a position to award themselves huge
bonuses and a wide range of expensive “perks”Clark and
Hollinger define employee theft as:The unauthorized taking,
control or transfer of money and/or property of the formal work
organization perpetrated by an employee during the course of
occupational activity which is related to the employment
Employee CrimeA great deal of employee crime is not readily
discovered
Even when discovered it may not be reported to any official
agency
No agency collects and publishes statistics on the range of
activities encompassed Only rough estimates based on diverse
sources and statistical extrapolations are available for study
Forms of Employee TheftWithholding effort at work can be
viewed as a form of employee crimeEmployees use office
supplies and machinery for personal use, make personal phone
calls on a business phone, etc.Employee theft occurs on a
number of different levels:Pilfering refers to petty
theftChiseling refers to cheating or swindlingFraud is theft
through misrepresentationEmbezzlement refers to the
destruction or fraudulent appropriation of another’s money
which has been entrusted to one’s care
Employers’ Response to Employee Theft
Some employee theft is tolerated, sometimes even encouraged,
by employers to compensate for low wages and poor working
conditions
20. Workers who engage in it are less well positioned to organize
and make demands
Employers’ Response to Employee Theft
Many employers are unlikely to involve police when they
discover significant employee thefts because:To do so risks
relationships and productive patterns at workExposes improper
or even illegal practices of the employerPossibility of garnering
bad publicity if arrests and criminal trials ensue
Alternative Forms of Employee CrimeTheft of ideas, designs
and formulas are another form of employee crimeSuch theft can
be expected to become an increasingly costly problem in the
current “information revolution”Not all employee crime against
the employer takes the form of theftEmployees may commit
sabotageTo conceal their own errors, to gain time off or for
more pay, or to express their contempt and anger with their
work and employer
Some Factors in Employee TheftAn extensive study of
employee theft found that employees who commit theft are more
likely to be young males, and unmarriedCompany property
refers mainly to basic, bulky components and toolsProperty of
uncertain ownership refers to small inexpensive items like nails,
bolts, drill bits, etc. Personal property refers to monogrammed
clothing, wallets, jewelry, personal modified tools, etc.
Conditions in the Workplace
21. and Employee CrimeDuring the period of 1750-1850,
opportunities for employee theft became far more widely
available
In the more recent era, technology has facilitated new forms of
employee crime
The most important factors influencing employee theft
involve:Workplace conditions such as the size of the
organization
Conditions in the Workplace
and Employee Crime
Smigel (1970)found that respondents were more prepared to
steal from large organizations than small ones
An employee stealing from a large organization is far less likely
to suffer measurable harm from conventional levels of theft
The larger the organization, the smaller the risk of being caught
Conditions in the Workplace
and Employee CrimeOther studies have found that employees’
dissatisfaction with the company or with supervisors was
associated with higher rates of employee theft
Opportunity to steal is a major determinant of employee theft
Those who have the greater access to things worth stealing are
the most likely to do so
Avocational Crime and White Collar CrimeAvocational crime
refers to occasional economic crimes committed by respectable
22. members of society outside of an occupational context
Avocational crimes are similar to the concepts of occasional
property crime, folk crime and mundane crime
Occasional crime is an amateur, small-scale property theft or
destruction
Avocational Crime and White Collar CrimeFolk crimes apply
to everyday deviance, like traffic violations and
poachingMundane crimes are commonplace, innocuous, and
often dull or routine opportunistic forms of lawbreaking with
relatively low visibilityAvocational crimes include:Evading
personal taxesDefrauding insurance companiesProviding false
statements in connection with personal loans and obtaining
creditStealing servicesStealing copyrighted material
Income Tax EvasionIncome tax evasion is classified as a form
of occupational or individual white collar crimeFailure to
comply with tax law may take different formsFailure to file,
non-reporting of income, underreporting of income, etc.Tax
evasion defined by the IRS is:An act involving deceit,
subterfuge, and concealment. It is, of course, illegalHowever,
tax avoidance, the arraignment of a taxpayer's affairs to
minimize tax liability, is legal
Income Tax EvasionThe complexity of tax law makes it difficult
to distinguish between tax evasion and tax avoidanceIncome tax
provides 2/3 of federal tax revenueThe IRS has been more
vigorous in the pursuit of tax protesters (those advocating tax
evasion) than of tax straddlers (those using illegal tax
shelters)According to one study, the more prevalent an
23. individual perceives tax evasion to be, the more inclined that
individual will be to commit tax evasion
Other Forms of Avocational CrimeInsurance fraud is widely
recognized to be a growing problem in the U.S.Doctors,
lawyers, insurance adjusters, and the police may be involved in
facilitating false injury, damage and theft claimsMuch insurance
fraud generally is avocational crime committed by respectable
middle or upper class members of societyMuch avocational
crime is less stigmatizing than all forms of white collar crime
because the primary victims are most typically the government
or large corporations, and because the losses appear to be more
abstract than for other forms of theft or fraud
