White-collar crimes got their name because they are commonly committed for personal or corporate monetary gain. They cover a broad scope of offenses and are defined by the Department of Justice as “any violation of law committed to nonviolent means, involving lies, omissions, deceit, misrepresentation, or violation of a position of trust, by an individual or organization for personal organizational benefit.”
White collar crimes that most commonly occur include:
While white collar crimes do not typically include physical violence, they still have devastating impacts on the lives of individuals, families, businesses, and society as a whole. These types of offenses can be tragically debilitating for the economy, communities, and may impact many different aspects of society for years after they are committed.
One example of a white collar crime on a large scale was during the financial crisis of 2008 when executives at large organizations like Bank of America knowingly sold billions of dollars worth of mortgage-backed securities they clearly knew to be troubled and unstable. This is a perfect example of how non-violent, “white collar criminals” disrupted the lives of millions upon millions of people, contributed to economic collapse, job loss, mortgage foreclosures, broken families, and the economic upheaval of an entire country.
While not all white collar crimes necessarily occur on the level of impacting tens of millions of people, they still have devastating impacts for those who suffer their consequences.
