In my white collar crime example, I am an employee. I’ve been working at this company for fourteen years. My coworker and I are responsible for handling the checks. My boss put me in charge for depositing money in the bank. The checks that I am supposed to deposit, I usually keep it for myself.

As indicated by Friedrichs (2012), if executives and managers are best positioned to steal millions, sometimes lower-level employees succeed in doing so as well.

As a matter of fact, estimates provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) routinely suggested that far more is lost to white-collar crimes than to traditional property crimes such as larceny, robbery, and burglary. In addition, white-collar offenses have the potential to cause serious physical and emotional damage to victims (Payne, 2016).

White collar crime is not a victimless crime. People’s lives can be ruined through the loss of a job, loss of savings and loss of assets. It is hard to not hear about white collar crime when looking at news. While not a justification for illegal actions, pressure is very high for companies to perform well and show growth. This pressure can lead people to commit crimes to falsify results or to enrich themselves. Laws and regulation, such as Sarbanes-Oxley have been implemented to provide greater transparency and accountability. However, the crime has become more sophisticated and complex. Many examples of such crimes involve greed and feelings of entitlement. One such

Most recently, “white-collar crime” has been defined as any financial offenses committed through the use of some combinations of fraud, dishonesty, or conspiracy.
