Abstract

Over the past decade the study of white-collar crime has been undergoing a resurgence of interest, productivity, and creativity. New findings have emerged regarding the social, demographic and psychological characteristics of white-collar offenders. These findings have spurred theoretical advances in the application of standard criminological perspectives to white-collar crime, including opportunity, life course, and informal social control theory. Researchers have also made advances in understanding how white-collar offenders are treated by the justice system and how they respond to that treatment, and these advances have implications for the prevention and control of white-collar crime. In this presentation, I review these theoretical and empirical advances and suggest avenues for future research and policy on this important and harmful form of criminal behavior.

摘要

在过去的十年中，对白领犯罪的研究一直在兴起，兴趣，生产力和创造力不断上升。关于白领罪犯的社会，人口和心理特征，出现了新发现。这些发现刺激了将标准犯罪学观点应用于白领犯罪的理论进展，包括机会，生活历程和非正式的社会控制理论。研究人员在理解司法系统如何对待白领罪犯以及他们如何对这种待遇作出反应方面也取得了进展，这些进展对预防和控制白领犯罪具有重要意义。在此演示文稿中，
