Testing convenience theory

.

Chapter 9 in Organizational Opportunity and Deviant Behavior, 2017, pp 159-191 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter tests convenience theory by studies of autobiographies. We were able to find a variety of statements produced by offenders that illustrate application of neutralization techniques in the behavioral dimension of convenience theory. Convenience theory is also tested in student elicitations, where students’ average responses indicate that issues in convenience theory are more important to determine white-collar crime than issues in society. The five most important issues are all convenience items.
