This Handbook brings together the accumulated wisdom of a diverse group of leading scholars on white-collar crime and corporate crime. It begins with an overview of the core themes in the study of white-collar crime. Ensuing chapters explicate the definition of white-collar crime, illuminate the distinguishing demographic, social, and psychological characteristics of white-collar offenders, and carefully dissect the social and economic costs of this form of crime. International in focus, the volume includes incisive analyses of a broad range of white-collar crimes and represents a major advance in white-collar criminology. Cutting-edge criminological theories, ranging from rational choice and opportunity to culture and the life-course perspective, are applied. The political dimensions of white-collar crime are explored through a review of research on public opinion on white-collar crime and punishment and through analyses of the politics of regulation and the difficulties of securing corporate compliance. The theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence regarding alternative white-collar crime control policies are analyzed. These policies that range from responsive regulation to deterrence through criminal sanctioning. Overall, this volume presents a sophisticated analysis of the multifaceted problem of white-collar crime and white-collar crime control, as well as a comprehensive overview of theory and empirical research in this area.

"White-Collar Crime: An Opportunity Perspective" analyzes white-collar crime using the opportunity perspective, which assumes that all crimes depend on offenders recognizing an opportunity to commit an offense. The authors explicate the processes and situational conditions that facilitate opportunities for white-collar crimes and the likelihood of being victimized by white-collar crime. In addition, they offer potential policy solutions that will mitigate this persistent and widespread social problem while being realistic and balanced in their treatment of the difficulties of control. With this fourth edition, Benson and Simpson have enlisted the aid of two young white-collar crime scholars, Jay P. Kennedy and Melissa Rorie, who bring new areas of expertise to the book that enhance its analytical depth and coverage of both white-collar crime and the opportunity perspective. New up-to-date case studies are included along with examinations of recent investigations into white-collar crime and its control. These timely updates reaffirm that this rigorous yet accessible book will remain a core resource for undergraduate and early graduate courses on white-collar crime.
