Summary
In recent years, corporate scandals such as those that occurred at Enron and WorldCom have brought a more focused spotlight on the issue of white-collar crime. Although white-collar crime has remained a pervasive part of social discourse throughout the course of the twentieth century, the presence of this phenomenon appears to have been exacerbated in recent years because of media attention. As a direct result of greater media attention, it seems as if harsher punishments for white-collar crime are now being handed down. Where once corporate executives and educated professionals could simply get away with white collar crimes, focused attention on those that commit these offenses has create a larger social climate in which white collar crime is not accepted.
Statement of the Problem
Arguably, the contention that while collar crime is not as socially acceptable as it was two of three decades ago is one that carries with it notable ramifications for understanding the evolution of both society and the criminal justice system in the United States.
