What Is a White Collar Crime?

Generally, white collar crimes are associated with non-violent offenses perpetrated by white collar workers, particularly those who work in finance. These types of crimes can involve an individual’s personal finances, a business, or even federal agencies.

Below are some common examples of white collar crimes:

  • Embezzlement: When an employee uses company money or property for his or her own benefit, it is known as embezzlement.
  • Computer fraud: Cybercrimes are a serious offense and are frequently prosecuted at a federal level.
  • Bank fraud: If a person takes action to defraud a bank of funds, such as using a stolen identity to access or create an account or trying to pass stolen checks, this is considered bank fraud.
  • Credit card fraud: When the unauthorized use of a credit card is used to obtain goods or property, it is considered credit card fraud. For example, trying to use someone else’s personal information to establish a credit line without their consent.
  • Investment or Ponzi schemes: These crimes occur when an individual is promised a return on his or her investment and, instead, the perpetrator keeps the investment money.
  • Blackmail: Typically, blackmail involves a threat of revealing a damaging secret about an individual. If perpetrated by a person in a position of power or authority within a company to obtain money or other valuable items from a person, it is considered a white collar crime.

Other common white collar crimes include tax evasion, money laundering, and securities fraud.
