Consider Sutherland’s definition of white-collar crime. Break down its components and analyze the correctness of the definition. What was he right about? What was he wrong about? How has the concept of white collar crime evolved from Sutherland’s original conceptualization in his 1940 paper through the modern era? How would Sutherland view the role of technology as a tool of white collar criminals? Does your definition of white-collar crime match the textbooks, Sutherland, a combination of both, or something else entirely?
