ABSTRACT
In the previous nine chapters that comprise the core of this text, you have been exposed to the concept of white-collar crime from a variety of perspectives. From the history of offenses such as forestalling, forgery, and fraud to the sophisticated techniques of modern-day hackers, crackers, and counterfeiters, much of the emphasis was placed on connecting the theories and typologies of white-collar crime. Yet this book also progressed beyond theory by providing students with a legal framework for white-collar offenses. Because of the pervasiveness of corruption within American society and its inextricable links to other forms of criminal behavior, a substantial portion of this work also focused on corruption control strategies within the United States. Lastly, we provided you with a foundation in investigative and analytical techniques germane to the field.
