Socioeconomic Effect Of Money Laundering In The United States

By the definition of relative deprivation theory alone I can answer the question with a yes. College educated, high economic status workers can be envies’ of other people just as easy as the next person. They also can feel deprived of something to which they feel entitled to. Maybe the reason they do some of the crimes are different than others but they do the crime just make themselves feel equal or maybe to bring the other person down a level to show them that the person is really not that much better than themselves. I can think of two different types of crimes that a white collar crime could happen. First being that a working has been with a company for many years and fells he has showed them no reason not to give them a raise or

The Globalization of White Collar Crimes: An Inside Look of How Fraud, Embezzlement, Cybercrime, Identity Theft and Forgery Are Increasing World-Wide

White collar crime costs Americans tax payers an estimated “$300 billion annually” (White-collar Crime), but more importantly hurts millions of American emotionally and financially who put their trust in stock market and financial institutions. Surprisingly, even with the astronomical cost only a few perpetrators are ever indicted and even fewer receive any sort of punishment for their greed and selfishness. On October 1, 2014 Florida had witness a rare indictment of not one or two but three Florida bankers trying to side step FDIC into giving them a subsidy loan over $3 Million. Donald “Terry” Dubose, Frank A. Baker, and Elwood “Woody” West were all indicted on twelve different counts of banking-related fraud.

Money is the life force of all of society. In every aspect, money determines the value of good, services, and even people’s lives. As we breathe air to function, society relies on finances to function. And if society, the unity of humanity, relies on money, than the leaders of society want to limit and control it to withhold their power over humanity. They do this by limiting what can be bought and sold, while also controlling how much different things cost. These limitations allow our leaders to control our money and, through that, our value and influence to society.

Throughout history, many academics have proposed various theories to help comprehend and explain criminal behaviours. These theories investigate many different aspects of the causations of crime and those at risk of criminal behaviour. White collar crime is a term founded less than a century ago within 1939 by Edwin Sutherland. He identified white collar crime as "crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation" (Hirschi, 1987, pg 953). Sutherland strived to explain all types of crimes. He proposed that crime occurred beyond the streets, within the business and politic realm. White collar crimes differ heavily from street crime, as they are nonviolent acts committed by those in a state

Coming from the small town of Burlington, nothing really happens especially when relating to fraud; or so I thought. Before this class began I never realized how much fraud occurs until starting this project. Being a Criminal Justice Major at Salem State, I constantly think of crime and I recall in my Criminal Justice Class, CRJ 250 Theories of Crime, my professor did an exercise that really impacted the way I think about crime. She made us all write down a crime we can think of, anything. Then we listed it and many crimes repeated, such as rape, assault, and drug usage. And out of every single person, not one person said white collar crimes. The news does not give white collar crimes any attention because in truth, it is not as “view worthy”

The nebulous nature of white-collar crime has long been explored, defined and redefined throughout its history by a great number of people specialising in a variety of fields. Despite being first introduced by Edwin Sutherland in 1939, some 78 years prior to today, the problem remains: how should white-collar crime be defined? The fluid nature of white-collar crime itself does not easily lend itself to be defined and thus there exists no universally-accepted definition despite the numerous attempts to accomplish the feat. Typically, the definition of a criminal offence is determined according to very specific criteria: the characteristics of the crime itself, with the characteristics of the offender remaining irrespective. However, many, tend

The United States has a vast illegal drug market as well as high numbers of people indulging in organized crime. Drug law enforcement personnel face problems when protecting the United States borders to avoid any drug trafficking instances. Drug trafficking involves smuggling of illegal drugs producing states such as Mexico to the consumer markets in other regions within the United States Organized Crime, on the other hand, is the practice of the offense through threats or violence and aims to collect legal or illegal rent from people in the community (Gavrilova, Kamada & Zoutman, 2014). Both practices are correlated as they are illegal and many criminal organizations are funded from drug trafficking in the United States. The paper seeks

In conclusion, organized crime and street gangs are unfavourable to society, although organize crime is more detrimental to society and the economy. Organized crime is one of the main reasons why taxes keep rising. The cost for law enforcement and the judicial system is an expensive cost for the government, they have no choice to raise taxes for the law-abiding citizens. As street gangs, are more violent and more aggressive, this group only affects certain citizens, but not the entirety of society. Street gangs have minor involvement towards the economy, as organized crime influences the economy in a tremendous manner. As criminals become more intelligent their strategies and tactics continue to be successful. With the popularity of technology,

The vast amount of money in the drug trade can compromise local economies and can permeate government agencies and institutions, leaving nations susceptible to corruption. Organized

The decision to evade one’s taxes is influenced by specific demographics. Tax evasion carries high ethical and moral costs. In addition to looking and certain demographics, such as age, gender, morals etc., the research also examines motives. There are different views on tax evasion, varying person to person. The two most prominent views are that paying one’s taxes is a public duty, while the other view is that it is a moral obligation. The different studies provided in this paper explore tax evasion across more than fifty countries, including developed and developing countries. Ultimately, this paper aims to discover the key to diminishing tax evasion.

Thanks to Sections 203 and 358 the scope of the CIA has been transformed from a foreign watchdog to a domestic intruder. Section 507, titled Disclosure of educational records, like every other section discussed thus far is a grouse violation of the Fourth Amendment with respect to privacy.

Counterfeiting, Drug Trafficking, Extortion, Fake Pharmaceuticals, Human Trafficking and Weapon Smuggling are all furtive actions that are inextricably linked to that of Money Laundering. When money is obtained from these illicit actions, individuals must find a way for the money to be “cleaned” or “laundered” so as not to raise suspicion. Individuals usually turn to projects such as Real Estate, Investment in precious metals, creation of fake companies and even Gambling to avoid authorities’ suspicion.

In 1946 the United Nations Economic and Social Council proposed Resolution 9(I) to aid the global community’s efforts to supervise drug activity. In the year 1991 the GA made the Committee on Narcotics and Drugs, CND the lead governing body of the UNODC and sanctioned it into two parts. The Organized Crime Convention defines Organized Crime as “A group of three or more persons who are not randomly formed existing for a period of time with the goal of committing at least one crime that could result in over four years of jail time, in order to achieve material or financial benefit” (Found in Article 2A of the Organized Crime Convention). Organized Crime is seen in every corner of the globe and includes the illegal activities of criminals seeking profit.
