White Collar Crime was first defined by the sociologist Edwin Sutherland in 1939 as “a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of their occupation” Popularly it includes corruption in public offices, ponzi schemes, embezzlement, criminal conspiracy and breach of trust, foreign exchange violations, benami transactions, tax frauds, banking frauds, corporate frauds, public frauds, money laundering, narcotics, illegal international trade, and other economic offences. These crimes are not characterized as violent against individuals but rather these are the crimes against public in general involving deceit, concealment or violation of trust.
