White Collar Crimes

What is a White Collar Crime?
According to the Department of Justice, "White-collar offenses shall constitute those classes of non-violent illegal activities which principally involve traditional notions of deceit, deception, concealment, manipulation, breach of trust, subterfuge or illegal circumvention."

Generally speaking, the term white collar crime is used in reference to business-related financial crimes. These crimes violate federal law and are usually charged in federal court. State law white collar crimes such as identity theft, forgery and fraud, may also be charged in State Court.

Frequently Committed White Collar Crimes
Commonly committed white collar crimes include antitrust violations, bank fraud, bankruptcy fraud, bribery, mortgage fraud, computer/internet fraud, credit card fraud, counterfeiting, embezzlement, extortion, forgery, insurance fraud, money laundering, securities fraud and tax evasion.
