Abstract
We compare the correlates of “white collar” offending—defined in various ways—to conventional offending. Analyses are based on the 1997 and 2004 Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities. We find that offenders who committed embezzlement or fraud in violation of federal statutes are very different from conventional offenders. On the other hand, those who committed fraud in violation of state statutes and those who committed occupational crimes are not much different. Regardless of the offense, the higher the socioeconomic status of the offender, the more they differ from conventional offenders. Our results suggest that commonly cited causal factors in conventional offending may not explain the behavior of high-status offenders, federal fraudsters, or embezzlers.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest.
Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
