What's New

{{collapseContainerClosed['whats-new'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • This revision includes much wholly new material, ranging from global surveys on white collar crime to oil royalties' frauds to fraud in the arts market to "economic hit men" to credit repair frauds.
  • The new edition includes careful, thorough updating to reflect the latest theoretical and research developments– including general strain theory and control balance theory – and such concepts as the "generative world" of white collar crime, and the role of "lure" in such crime. Much of the latest criminological scholarship on white collar crime is addressed, not only by American, Canadian, British and Australian criminologists, but also by Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Belgian, Dutch and Swedish criminologists.
  • This updated edition includes discussion of the latest noteworthy cases and events-such as new legislative initiatives (e.g., consumer product safety), the failure of ratings agencies in policing the securities markets, the adoption of deferred prosecution agreements by the government, and the use of social licenses.
