Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An excellent introduction to an important type of white-collar crime that has a major impact on the cost and quality of government services. Public procurement fraud has received all too little attention from researchers and the general public. Smith clearly explicates the nature of public procurement fraud, why it matters, how it is committed, and what can be done to control it." -Michael L. Benson, Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Cincinnati, USA Procurement is a critical government activity, yet very little scholarly attention is devoted to procurement fraud in public policy, public management, or public financial management research. While many publications focus on the stages of the procurement process and appropriate protocols to follow for successful procurements, the opportunities for exploitation of the process have not been as widely studied. Procurement fraud is similarly understudied in the white-collar crime literature, where attention has primarily been placed on corporate crime or political corruption. This book extends criminal justice and white-collar crime scholarship by using these literatures to frame public procurement fraud. Additionally, organizational behavior approaches are applied to public procurement fraud to explain possible motivations for this type of occupational crime. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to provide insights into the characteristics of individuals who abuse the procurement process for personal gain, and it offers some strategies for detecting and preventing further abuse. Original research is also presented and compares the offender-based and offense-based characteristics of the perpetrators of public procurement fraud with those of street and white-collar criminals. The intention of this book is to elevate the issue of public procurement fraud and to align it with criminal justice and white-collar crime scholarship. Christy D. Smith is Associate Professor of Public Administration and Director of the MPA Program at the University of New Haven, Connecticut, USA. Her research and teaching interests include procurement, public financial management, public policy, and public management. She has published in the areas of sustainable procurement and public procurement fraud.

Book excerpt: White-collar crimes are crimes committed by those of high social status, those with reputation, businesses, government professionals, including the elected and appointed officials. Canada's White-Collar Crimes go beyond this. From white-collar crimes to red-collar crimes, and to the colonization of the public institutions by two famous political creations: the CRA "Corporation" and Service Canada. These two political creation are private companies created to take over the public service in a hostile manner, politically, deceitfully, and manipulatively. They take over the nation's logistics. Service Canada also created its "phantom" company that declares itself as the "Department of Employment and Social Development Canada." Things they do from the day of their creation are illegal. They become a modern tyrants, human rights violators, undemocratic and turn the government system to be a system of ignorance and arrogance. All for the love of money. It is a story of public betrayal, power abuse, and personal greed. As they colonize the government and control the government, they tainted the system to be a system of systemic corruption, collusion, and bribery, a system of systemic lie, deceitfulness, manipulation, and a system of financial brutality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * What is the extent and impact of white collar crime? * How can white collar crime be explained? * How is white collar crime controlled? This comprehensive overview of white collar crime begins by introducing the concept, looking at its definition, its identification with class and status, and its development within criminology. The problems of estimating the vast extent of white collar and corporate crime are explored, and some of its major forms are outlined, including fraud, corruption, employment, consumer and environmental crime. Hazel Croall looks at the kinds of offenders who are convicted for white collar offences and at patterns of victimization which involve class, gender and age. She examines the various ways in which white collar crime has been explained and analysed, including individual, organizational and social structural perspectives. The issues surrounding regulation and punishment are explored, focusing on the contrast between white collar and other crimes, and on alternative approaches to its control. This new book is a revised, updated and readily accessible replacement for the author's highly successful White Collar Crime (Open UP, 1992).

Download or read book Understanding White Collar Crime written by Petter Gottschalk and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding White-Collar Crime develops the concept of convenience as the main explanation for crime occurrence. Examining all three dimensions of crime—economic, organizational, and behavioral—the book argues that when white-collar crime becomes less convenient, crime rates will go down. By applying convenience theory to an empirical sample of convicted white-collar criminals, the text teaches criminal justice students and ethics and compliance practitioners to identify and understand how opportunity affects real-world criminal situations. Internal investigations of white-collar crime are discussed, and corporate social responsibility against white-collar crime is emphasized. Understanding White-Collar Crime: A Convenience Perspective examines not only the theories behind white-collar crime, but also explores methods used in criminal justice investigations into corporate fraud, and emphasizes the importance of corporate social responsibility in reducing crimes of this nature. Criminal justice students and practitioners should not miss this close look into the world of white-collar crime.

Download or read book White Collar Crime Online written by Petter Gottschalk and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This initiating monograph provides the first thorough examination of the concept of white-collar crime online. Applying an offender-based perspective which considers the central role of convenience, it seeks to inform, improve and develop the current literature on cybercrime, whilst paying particular attention to its founding category within criminology. It argues that white-collar crime has receded from criminological perspectives on cybercrime in recent years and that a detailed, rich re-assessment of white-collar crime in contemporary digital societies is needed. Following a theoretical introduction, the book develops to discuss, inter alia, implications for corporate reputation, the various organizational roles utilized in mitigating external and internal threats, the unique considerations involved in law enforcement efforts, and likely future directions within the field. White-Collar Crime Online recognises the strong lineage and correlation that exists between the study of white-collar crime and cybercrime. Using convenience theory within a comparative analysis which includes case-studies, the book explores both European and American paradigms, perspectives and models to determine where white-collar crime exists within the contemporary workplace and how this might relate to the ongoing discourse on cybercrime. In doing so it revaluates criminological theory within the context of changing patterns of business, the workplace, social rules, systems of governance, decision making, social ordering and control. White-Collar Crime Online will speak to criminologists, sociologists and professionals; including those interested in cyber-security, economics, technology and computer science.
