White collar crimes: A comprehensive analysis
Abstract
White-collar crimes and economic offenses have increased alarmingly as a result of the modernization of crime, a disturbing trend that threatens to destroy the economy globally. White-collar crimes are admittedly very common in third-world nations and are thus by no means a new occurrence. The convergence of business and the law, as well as their interactions with innovation, moral discourse, and public perception, as well as the evolution of state regulations over time, are what give white-collar crimes their historical foundation. Since white-collar criminals were not viewed as the “typical criminals” who committed robbery, or murder, it will not be an exaggeration to argue that it took a long time for the law to recognize this form of the malicious act under the canopy of crime. Instead, there was a perception that white-collar offenses were victimless and less detrimental to society than crimes like robbery. White-collar offenders still face substantially lighter punishments than ordinary criminals in various nations. White-collar crimes create significantly more harm to society than traditional crimes because they pose a much bigger threat to economic stability by undermining public confidence. The current study’s fundamental methodology will be doctrinal, i.e., it will analyse deviances and the problems associated with white-collar crimes in considerable detail. The technique takes a strictly theoretical approach; therefore, it describes several professions where such crimes occur and provide a thorough conceptual understanding of the underlying idea. The present study will make attempt to comprehend the reasoning behind deviations and the conditions that give rise to such crimes. The study will also seek to analyse the current situation considering the context. Additionally, the study will present some untouched perspectives on white-collar crimes.
