ABSTRACT

Corporate social responsibility White-collar crime is committed in an organizational setting. The organization enables crime to occur and to be hidden in legal transactions. While organizations tend to claim that they are victims of white-collar crime, they do in fact represent enablers of financial crime. Therefore, organizations carry responsibility for crime and crime prevention. Crime prevention and detection is part of corporate citizenship, where the organization should avoid causing costs to society in terms of prosecution and punishment of white-collar criminals. When organizations allow whitecollar crime to happen, then harm is caused to society. This is the opposite of corporate social responsibility, where the organization is expected to contribute benefits to society.
