White Collar Crime for Financial Gain

White collar criminal activities are usually committed by people in positions of authority, trust and power, typically in their place of work and sometimes with the explicit or implicit consent of their employers.

White collar crimes are generally non-violent and primarily relate to some type of financial gain to the perpetrator.

White collar crimes are usually crimes of theft and deception committed by salaried professional people as opposed to other crimes that use force. White collar crimes can be prosecuted at the state level or federal level, or both.

Penalties for being convicted of white collar crime typically consist of fines, restitution and, in some cases, prison.
