White Collar Crime

Wikipedia defines it as a “financially motivated nonviolent crime committed by business and government professionals.” Dictionary.com defines it as “any of various crimes, as embezzlement, fraud, or stealing office equipment, committed by business or professional people while working at their occupations.” As the definition may vary, however, one common denominator exists – white collar crime is a crime committed through deception to gain monetarily.
