White Collar Crimes

What Are White Collar Crimes?

White collar crimes are defined by the FBI as, “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”.  White collar crimes are those that are typically committed by those who are looked upon as affluent.  They occur during the performance of one’s day to day business activities.  White collar crimes have become more complex due to the advent of technology.  Some of the many white collar crimes that are committed are embezzlement, swindling, insider trading, internet fraud, credit card fraud, bribery, extortion, insurance fraud, tax evasion and money laundering.  Though these crimes are enforced on the state level, the majority of them are tried in federal court.
