CRJ 484: White Collar Crime

Course Description

This course reviews the history, categories, and problems related to white-collar crime. The course covers these topics by incorporating both legal and empirical perspectives in the study of white collar crime. In this course, we will focus on the substantive and procedural white collar crime laws ('law on the books') and analyze real white collar crime cases. Simultaneously, we will pay special attention to the dynamic relationship between white collar crime and the American regulatory framework. As a result, we will assess the relationship and differences between various types of white collar crime and the regulatory regimes that oversee the business sector ('law in action').
