Abstract

White collar crime, a term coined by sociolo gist Edwin Sutherland in 1939, refers to non-violent, financially motivated offenses typically committed by individuals, business es, or government officials in positions of trust and authority. This form of crime encompasses a wide range of illicit activities, including fraud, embezzlement, corruption, money laundering, tax evasion, and insider trading, among others. While it may not be as sensa tionalized as street crime, white collar crime poses a significant threat to the economic and social fabric of a nation.
