White-Collar Crime: An Opportunity Perspective analyzes
white-collar crime within a coherent theoretical framework. Using
the opportunity perspective, which assumes that all crimes depend
on offenders recognizing an opportunity to commit an offense, the
authors uncover the processes and situational conditions that
facilitate white-collar crimes. In addition, they offer potential
solutions to this persistent and widespread social problem without
being reductive in their treatment of the difficulties of control.
With this third edition, Benson and Simpson have added substantive
online teaching materials and expanded their coverage with
up-to-date case studies and discussions of recent investigations
into white-collar crime and control. These timely updates reaffirm
this accessible and rigorous book as a core resource for courses on
white-collar crime.

would go. Nothing could prepare me for the devastating consequences
caused by my one moment of weakness. Praise for Gemma Rogers:
