Sasha not being paid lead him into some debt. Sasha did not have the intention of forging signatures on IOUs, but he still made the choice to do so. Sasha understood that forging signatures was wrong, but he believed that the people condemning him are in debt as well, so what he is doing is not a criminal act. Sasha making the choice to forge the signatures is what makes him a criminal. After making a deal with his uncles to go to work with his uncle Ivan and work off his debt, Sasha is still unappreciative. After Ivan fought for Sasha to not go to trial,

    White-collar crime is the financially motivated illegal acts that are committed by the middle and upper class through their legitimate business or government activities. This form of crime was first coined by Edwin Sutherland in 1939 as “a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation.” (Linden, 2016). Crime has often been associated with the lower class due to economic reasons. However, Sutherland stressed that the Criminal Justice System needed to acknowledge illegal business activity as crime due to the repercussions they caused and the damage they can cause to society (Linden, 2016). Crime was prevalently thought to only be

  • Crime And White Collar Crimes

    1686 Words  | 4 Pages

    Crime comes in different ways, shapes, and forms. From corruption to murder, the seriousness and blameworthiness varies from crime to crime. The most common factor of all crime is that it is illegal. The problem with prosecution is that some crimes can find loopholes around the rigidity of the laws created. This is the hardest for white collar crimes. With so many types of white collar crimes, it is hard to understand where it belongs on the scale on seriousness and blameworthiness and how to prosecute. With white collar crimes, they are most commonly seen as “victimless” or “paper” crimes, since they do not involve physical harm to the people included. With so many types available to analyze, the purpose of this paper is to focus on bribery, perjury, and fraud. When it comes to white collar crimes, or any crime for that matter, we do not only need to focus on what causes it and society’s reaction to it. We need to look into prevention of it and being able to stop it before it even starts.

  • White Collar Crime: The Definition Of White Collar Crime

    965 Words  | 2 Pages

    His main contention being that the very permissive attitudes within society allow for this type of crime to continue to flourish without consequence; but, research has shown that Americans do in fact condemn white collar crime. There has been a lot issues with the true definition of what white collar crime is. The most common white-collar crimes include fraud, bribery, Ponzi schemes, cybercrime, copyright infringement, money laundering, identity theft and forgery insider trading, labor racketeering, embezzlement. Although Sutherland defined it first, the FBI defines it with a more narrow approach: "those illegal acts which are characterized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust and which are not dependent upon the application or threat of physical force or violence" (1989, 3). The crimes committed which fall under the title of white collar crime are entirely dependent upon the identity of the offender; their occupation, their environment, and their opportunities are significant factors in relation to their

    In America, simply having a job is not enough. Nowadays, jobs are hard to find and most only offer part-time employment. It is near impossible to afford the cost of living while earning entry-level wages. The job market has become hostile, and it has gotten to the point that one must have formal training or a marketable education in order to obtain a stable position that offers decent wages. With this realization, many people have decided to go to college. Those that are in the market for a college education face many choices. The most common: community colleges, which do not make a profit, and technical schools or online schools, which are in the business to make a profit. These schools are called for-profit schools. Many people do not realize how important it is to shop around when debating which school to attend. Nowadays, one must get an education about their education. For profit colleges, such as Everest College, gain their profits by using high pressure sales tactics, manipulation, and fraud, and offer no benefits for college students.

  • The Keating Five Fraud

    481 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Keating Five was a group of five senators that improperly involved themselves into a fraud case committed in 1987. Charles H. Keating Jr. was the executive of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was a banking company based in California, and the main perpetrator of the fraud crimes. With his association, Keating went after high profits by manipulating naive people into unpromising deals and bonds then using their money to invest in unstable ventures. Keating later called in the Keating Five-- John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), and Donald W. Reigle (D-MI) -- whom he had previously given campaign money to. These senators were asked to persuade federal officials that Keating’s company was not committing fraud. Still, an investigation was conducted which later found him guilty of 73 matters of fraud with other

  • The Murderer's Motives in Dostoevsky's Crime & Punishment

    2410 Words  | 5 Pages

    The beauty of Crime and Punishment is that there are no absolutes. It is a 19th century murder mystery, with the identity of the murderer clear, but the murderer's reasons far from being so. Although each chapter was replete with uncertainty, no other facet of the novel caused greater vexation both during the reading and even after its conclusion than what drove Raskol'nikov to commit the murder. That is not to say that he committed murder without purpose or reason, that he was just a cookie cutter villain with no purpose; instead, he is a multi-faceted character that is both likable and a scoundrel at once. The protagonist himself is unsure why he plans and carries out what he does. As he went to bury what he had stolen, he asked himself: "If it all has really been done deliberately and not idiotically, if I really had a certain and definite object, how is it I did not even glance into the purse and don't know what I had there, for what I have undergone these agonies and have deliberately undertaken this base, filthy, degrading business?" (Part II, Ch. 2, pgs. 92-93). The reader is not left completely in the dark, however, as motives were established. The caveat being that motive is plural, and motive is usually a mutually exclusive term. The first motive to be presented, and the strongest in the novel during Raskol'nikov's planning stages, was the issue of poverty. He was destitute, living in squalor, and in need of money to crawl out of his grave-like flat. After the murder was committed and Raskol'nikov came under suspicion, he came face to face with the inspector general, Porfiry Petrovich. Their discussion made the cut-and-dried appearance of the motive tu...

    1408 Words  | 3 Pages

    Imagine losing your retirement funds or being a victim of a mortgage fraud because money from your bank account disappeared overnight! The 1996 report of the National Criminal Justice Commission estimated that the annual cost of white-collar crime is between $130 billion and $472 billion, seven to twenty-five times greater than the cost of conventional or street crime (Conklin, 2010, P. 71). White-collar crime in America is considered larceny committed by the wealthy, respected, and legitimate enterprise which is not set up or intended to go out of business like an ordinary fraud or con game. White-collar crime offenses may involve forgery, embezzlement, or fraud involving massive amounts of money. Offender’s commit fraudulent acts in the course of normal business practice, but is considered unethical and violates accepted accounting principles and mainly public trust. To help better understand the issue the essay will explain several incidents which are involved with white collar crime and how it hurts many individuals from families to businesses. Even though white-collar crime offender’s gain an increase in salary and may go unnoticed, the criminal justice system should continue to take a stance on white collar crime. Because mainly white collar crime is a serious invincible crime, laws that regulate white collar crimes are necessary, and impacts society's way of life. Additionally, a proposed suggestion will be presented to counter the identified problems and conclude final thoughts on white-collar crime. At the end of the day the goal to continue law regulations against white collar crime while maintaining public protection will be the driving emphasis behind this essay.
