ABSTRACT This study examines gender differences in white-collar offending in a sample of men and women on federal community supervision (probation and supervised release). Compared to studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s women’s participation in white collar crime has changed in some ways but also has striking similarities to those earlier studies. Study findings illustrate that men still comprise a larger share of those who commit white-collar offenses, but the proportion of women is growing. This study highlights other gendered differences in white-collar offending as relates to important demographic characteristics and community supervision. Some of the key differences found by gender concern educational attainment and marital status, which are similar to differences exhibited in prior research. The discussion sections outline the implications as well as compares these new findings to historical studies on gender and white-collar crime.

白领犯罪和监督中的性别差异

摘要这项研究在联邦社区监督（缓刑和监督释放）的男女样本中研究了白领犯罪中的性别差异。与1970年代和1980年代进行的研究相比，妇女在白领犯罪中的参与发生了某些变化，但与早期的研究也有惊人的相似之处。研究结果表明，在实施白领犯罪的男性中，男性仍然占较大比例，但是女性的比例正在上升。这项研究强调了白领犯罪中的其他性别差异，这与重要的人口特征和社区监督有关。性别发现的一些关键差异与学历和婚姻状况有关，这与先前的研究相似。
