Lesson Outline
Enterprise crime refers to two categories of crime: white-collar crime and organized crime. Edwin Sutherland first used the phrase “ white-collar crime” to describe the criminal activities of the rich and powerful.
Sutherland argued that white-collar crime involved conspiracies by members of the wealthy classes to use their positions in commerce and industry for personal gain without regard to the law. Contemporary definitions of white-collar crime are typically much broader.
The components of white-collar crime are stings and swindles, chiseling, individual exploitation of institutional position, influence peddling and bribery, embezzlement and employee fraud, client fraud, and corporate crime.
Many criminologists have studied the causes of white-collar crime and asked if the cause was greed or need. The three major theoretical perspectives are the rationalization/neutralization view, the corporate culture view, and the self-control view.
When discussing the issue of law and morality, some scholars argue that acts like pornography, prostitution, and drug use erode the moral fabric of society and should therefore be prohibited and punished.
According to this view, so-called victimless crimes are prohibited because one of the functions of criminal law is to express a shared sense of public morality.
