Although white-collar crime has caused a substantial amount of
damage on both the individual and societal levels, it often ranks
below street crime as a matter of public concern. Thus,
white-collar crime remains an ambiguous and even controversial
topic among academics, with a relative dearth of scholarly focus on
the issue. The Oxford Handbook of White-Collar Crime offers a
comprehensive treatment of the most up-to-date theories and
research regarding white-collar crime. Contributors tackle a vast
range of topics, including the impact of white-collar crime, the
contexts in which white-collar crime occurs, current crime policies
and debates, and examinations of the criminals themselves. The
volume concludes with a set of essays that discuss potential
responses for controlling white-collar crime, as well as promising
new avenues for future research. Uniting conceptual theories,
empirical research, and ethnographic data, the Handbook provides
the first unified analytic framework on white-collar crime. Given
the astronomical aggregate losses to victims, building a more
nuanced understanding of the dynamics of white-collar crime is a
topic of immediate social concern. The definitive resource on
white-collar crime, this Handbook will be a valuable resource for
developing both intellectual and policy-related solutions.
