ABSTRACT

Traditionally, research on the gender fraction of women in white-collar crime has focused on female lack of financial motive, organizational opportunity, and personal willingness for deviant behavior. This article applies the opposite perspective of traditional gender research on white-collar crime in terms of special female motive, opportunity, and willingness. This article challenges prior research regarding female involvement in white-collar crime. Based on the theory of convenience, this article identifies convenience themes that are gender-specific in favor of pink-collar offenders. In the motive dimension of convenience theory, we find concern for others and strain causing depression and anxiety. In the opportunity dimension, we find that women have the advantage of facing suspicion of misconduct, wrongdoing, and crime to a far lesser extent compared to men. In the willingness dimension, we find that women as followers can justify their actions and neutralize their potential guilt feelings far better than men in the role of leaders in crime can neutralize what they have done.

摘要

传统上，对白领犯罪中女性性别比例的研究主要集中在女性缺乏经济动机、组织机会和个人对越轨行为的意愿上。本文在特殊女性动机、机会和意愿方面应用了与传统性别研究相反的视角来研究白领犯罪。本文挑战了先前关于女性参与白领犯罪的研究。基于便利理论，本文确定了有利于粉红领犯罪者的性别特定的便利主题。在便利理论的动机维度中，我们发现对他人的关心和压力会导致抑郁和焦虑。在机会维度上，我们发现女性具有面临不当行为、不当行为、与男性相比，犯罪程度要小得多。在意愿维度中，我们发现女性作为追随者可以证明自己的行为是正当的，并能很好地消除潜在的内疚感，而男性在犯罪中扮演领导者的角色可以更好地消除她们的所作所为。
