Publisher's Synopsis
White-Collar Crime collects some of the most stimulating contributions to the debate over white-collar crime (concentrating on recent journal articles and avoiding as far as possible going over well trodden territory). The book is divided into 3 sections: 1) white-collar crime as a contested concept 2) The causes of white-collar crime and 3) the response to white-collar crime. The guiding theme of the collection is the importance of understanding how the ambiguity of this form of behaviour can offer the key to explaining both its causes and control. - -
