Compensation of victims

.

Chapter 9 in Convenience Triangle in White-Collar Crime, 2019, pp 117-125 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the relevance and attractiveness of government-funded victim compensation for white-collar crime victims. A conservative definition of white-collar crime implies that victims can emerge as a special group of individuals and organizations. Based on a sample of offenders in Norway, this chapter presents both characteristics of the offenders and their victims. Main victims are employers, tax authorities, banks, customers, and other shareholders. We suggest that future public opinion surveys should focus more explicitly on such victim groups to study the extent to which government-funded victim compensation as a public policy finds support in the populations.
