Summary:

When does cutting corners in pursuit of corporate profit become a crime? When should the misdeeds of government officials warrant a prison sentence? This lucid introduction to the notoriously complex problem of white-collar crime provides students with a set of tools for exploring the abuse of corporate and government power. This student-friendly text: Covers the gamut of corporate crimes and government malfeasance; accssibly introduces theoretical concepts; iludes both classic case studies and contemporary examples; documents the devastating impact of white-collar crime; and discusses the dilemmas of regulatory reform and ways to prevent white-collar crime. For students, the result is a critical approach to separating right from wrong and lawful from illegal in the gray areas of professional and civic life.
