In a previous blog, we wrote all about the topic of people who are commonly committing white collar crimes, finding that men are much more likely to commit white collar crimes than women are. We also discovered that the average company loses around $10 each day due to employee fraud. Perhaps most interestingly, we learned that white collar crimes are committed most often in relatively small businesses (defined as having less than one hundred employees).

The thing they all have in common? They’re all white collar crimes! The thing that’s most surprising to people about white collar crime is what exactly it encompasses. Thanks to movie and television, people imagine that white collar crime describes people who are galavanting around the world, robbing banks and planning heists to steal art from a gallery. The other image that’s often conjured is one of black clothing and red lasers.

So…What is White Collar Crime Then?

The reality of the matter is that white collar crime can be defined a number of ways, and thanks to our modern lives and the forward march of technology, more white collar crimes are being invented each and every day by people all around the world.

Did you know that out of all the crimes reported to the FBI, only 4% are for white collar crime? It’s a surprisingly low number given the times we live in. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that if you’ve been accused of committing a white collar crime, it doesn’t mean you’re necessarily guilty.
