Hello everyone, 1. List at least 5 examples of common white-collar crimes. Since the dawn of time, crimes have been synonymous with human culture. Crimes often are actions that happen daily with or without our knowledge. To most, when the word crime is uttered, the thought of physical harm or abuse is generally created. However, since the turn of the century, we have since a different kind of crime increase. These crimes are generally seen as non-violent; however, they sometimes inflict great damage. These non-violent crimes are referred to as ‘white-collar’ crimes. These crimes take their name from the ‘white-collar’ business side of society because they generally deal with businesses or finances. There are a bevy of white-collar crimes, some great some petty, that impact our society. However, research from Northcentral University (2020) found that the top five white-collar crimes committed were corporate fraud, embezzlement, Ponzi Schemes, extortion, and bankruptcy fraud. 2. Money Laundering used to be rare. Why do you think money laundering has become a common occurrence among the white-collar population in the United States. Money laundering, like most white-collar crime, has increased throughout the years for a multitude of reasons. One of the most obvious reasons was the United States’ failures to create a law that directly tackled money laundering in big businesses. It is known that large corporations will use “shell companies” to handle their assets and money. These shell companies do not have employees nor make income (Dixon, 2018). A good example of this is the reveal of the Panama papers, which leaked the information of businesses and billionaires that used Panamanian law firms to evade taxes and anonymously funnel money to different nations (Dixon, 2018). Why would individuals do this? Well, primarily for tax reasons. To put it plainly, people hate to pay taxes. John Caldwell References: Borghard, E. D. (2018).
