ABSTRACT
Throughout the first seven chapters of this book, you have been exposed to a variety of theories and typologies relevant to the study of white-collar crime. However, to fully appreciate the scope and complexity of white-collar crime within the United States, this chapter will provide you with a basic understanding of commonly encountered white-collar crimes from a legalistic perspective, beyond the rudimentary discussion of Sarbanes-Oxley Act discussed in the previous chapter. You may notice that this portion of the text is a bit longer than those you have examined thus far. We do not apologize for this. Rather, We believe that as future investigators, special agents, or prosecutors, understanding the key elements of commonly encountered white-collar crime statutes will prove critical to your success in this field.
