White-collar crime opportunity

.

Chapter 2 in Corporate White-Collar Crime Scandals, 2020, pp 19-40 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter addresses the opportunity side of white-collar crime. White-collar offenders are individuals with high social status in privileged positions, which they abuse to commit financial crime. Offenders have legitimate access to resources that make it convenient to commit and conceal crime. Crime convenience increases when institutional deterioration occurs. Crime convenience can be excellent for offenders when there is a lack of oversight and guardianship. Some industries have criminal market structures, where an organization simply adapts to illegitimate practices.
