![]() ![]() ![]() These crimes are generally committed in complex and large institutions. In a general context, white-collar crime can be defined as those crimes committed by the people belonging to the higher social status of the society, carrying malice/ill will and causing the breach of trust during the course of their profession or business. A well-distinguished criminologist and sociologist Sir E.H Sutherland, in 1939 remarkably depicts white-collar crimes as those crimes committed by the people belonging from the higher strata of the society, respectable, esteemed, and admired in their noble profession. Persons of a noble profession, eminent practitioners, industrial capitalists, evil hoarders, the speculators, the profiteers, the black marketeers and visionaries of the idealistic world, however worthy and influential they may be, just to accumulate more and more money through crooked means, tend to bring a blot upon the society and become the worst enemy of the nation. ![]()
