White-Collar Crime: A Review of Recent Developments and Promising Directions for Future Research

Abstract

White-collar crime is one of the least understood and arguably most consequential of all crime types. This review highlights and assesses recent (primarily during the past decade) contributions to white-collar crime theory (with special emphasis on critical, choice, and organizational theories of offending), new evidence regarding the sentencing and punishment of white-collar offenders, and controversies surrounding crime prevention and control policies. Several promising new directions for white-collar crime research are identified, as are methodological and data deficiencies that limit progress.

Keyword(s): choice theories, corporate advantage, deterrence, lure, neutralization accounts, offender-based definitions, offense-based definitions, responsive regulation
