White-Collar Crime: An Opportunity Perspective analyzes
white-collar crime using the opportunity perspective, which assumes
that all crimes depend on offenders recognizing an opportunity to
commit an offense. The authors explicate the processes and
situational conditions that facilitate opportunities for
white-collar crimes and the likelihood of being victimized by
white-collar crime. In addition, they offer potential policy
solutions that will mitigate this persistent and widespread social
problem while being realistic and balanced in their treatment of
the difficulties of control. With this fourth edition, Benson and
Simpson have enlisted the aid of two young white-collar crime
scholars, Jay P. Kennedy and Melissa Rorie, who bring new areas of
expertise to the book that enhance its analytical depth and
coverage of both white-collar crime and the opportunity
perspective. New up-to-date case studies are included along with
examinations of recent investigations into white-collar crime and
its control. These timely updates reaffirm that this rigorous yet
accessible book will remain a core resource for undergraduate and
early graduate courses on white-collar crime.

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.
Why do corporations comply with the law? When companies violate the law, what kinds of interventions are most apt to return them to compliant status? The purpose of this book is to examine whether a shift toward the use of criminal law with its emphasis on punishment and stigmatization will be a successful crime control strategy. The author reviews whether current legal systems based in criminal, civil, and regulatory law "deter" corporate crime. She concludes that strict criminalization models that rely on punishments will not yield sufficiently high levels of compliance.
