Description
White-Collar Deviance brings together two respected authors in the field, David Simon and Frank Hagan, to present a new conceptualization of currently competing terms: elite deviance, white collar crime, and economic crime. This book includes the many varieties of both criminal and non-criminal deviance by both individuals and organizations, and includes the behavior of both the elite and non-elite.
A survey of all types of white collar deviance, both elite and non-elite, this book may be used as a supplement to Elite Deviance, by David Simon. The book also contains discussion of numerous acts of elite deviance (e.g., Clinton sex scandal) which are not contained in the sixth edition of Elite Deviance.
