We believe that some non violent, first time offenders…..belong in prison. White collar criminals, those who commit fraud, those who extort or embezzle, and those who conspire or cover up can be just as deserving of punishment as any street predator. And we suspect that most Americans – most people who believe in equal justice under law – agree with us (Bennet, Dilulio and Walters, 1996)

Street crimes and white collar crimes Street crimes typically are committed by confronting victims or entering their homes or businesses, but most white collar crimes are committed by using deceit or misrepresentation to create and exploit for illegal advantage the appearance of a legitimate transaction.

E.A. Ross He claimed that there was a link between the growing social and economic interdependence and and the new and changing forms of criminal opportunity. Ross used the term “criminaloids” to designate the new breed of offenders who exploit with impunity these opportunities. Criminaloids are respectable criminals.

The villain most in need of curbing is the respectable, exemplary, trusted personage who, strategically placed at the focus of a spiderweb of fiduciary relations, is able from his office-chair to pick a thousand minds, or imperil a thousand lives. It is the [criminaloid] that needs the shackle (1907)

Reports of white collar crimes in the nation’s 100 largest newspapers from February and February 4, news reports about collar crimes appeared in the newspapers on these two days. 62 of the stories mentioned widely publicized national or international cases. Many reported on the criminal trial of entrepreneur, business executive, and television personality Martha Stewart for lying to investigators about an illicit stock sale. There was extensive reporting on the international mutual funds scandals that recently had come to light. September 2003 marked the beginning on investigations into this web of crime. Fund companies used improper and criminal tactics to allow insiders or big clients to make quick profits at the expense of small and long-term investors.

On February 4, 2004, newspaper stories reported that a former executive of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce was charged by state and federal authorities with larceny and fraud by helping finance illegal mutual fund trading. Officials charged that he helped others carry out improper trades from 2001 to 2003 in a trading scheme that stole more than two millions from two mutual funds.
