Specialties - Myths and Misunderstandings in White-Collar Crime

Description

Book Synopsis: Myths and Misunderstandings in White Collar Crime uses real world examples to explore the pathologies that hamper our ability to understand and redress white-collar crime. The book argues that several misinterpretations about white-collar crime continue to impede its enforcement, including: its failure to be classified according to degrees of severity in many jurisdictions; its failure to statutorily parse groups of defendants into major and minor players; and the failure of statutes to effectively define crimes, leading to the prosecution of 'unwritten' crimes. Miriam Baer offers a step-by-step framework, informed by theories of institutional design and behavioral psychology, for redressing these misunderstandings through 'code design,' or paying greater attention to how we write, frame, and lay out our federal criminal code, as a roadmap to more coherent and useful laws. A clearer, subdivided criminal code paves the way for a discussion of white-collar crime unmarred by myths and misunderstandings.

Details

Are you tired of the myths and misunderstandings surrounding white-collar crime? Look no further! Introducing our groundbreaking book, "Myths and Misunderstandings in White Collar Crime." Packed with real-world examples, this book will open your eyes to the pathologies that have hindered our understanding and ability to address white-collar crime effectively.

In these pages, you will discover the frustrating reality of how white-collar crime is often mishandled. One of the biggest issues is the lack of classification based on degrees of severity in many jurisdictions. This causes serious offenses to be treated the same as minor infractions, leading to inadequate enforcement. Our book dives deep into this issue, offering a step-by-step framework to rectify this flaw through 'code design.'

Not only that, but we also tackle the problem of failing to distinguish between major and minor players in white-collar crime cases. By using theories of institutional design and behavioral psychology, our author, Miriam Baer, presents an innovative approach to redefining how we prosecute these crimes. By providing effective definitions and clear attributions to different levels of involvement, we can ensure that justice is served properly.

Furthermore, we address the troubling issue of prosecuting 'unwritten' crimes. With inadequate statutes, many white-collar criminals slip through the cracks due to ambiguous definitions of the offenses they commit. Miriam Baer's expertise and research provide valuable insights into how we can strengthen our federal criminal code, creating a roadmap that is clearer and more comprehensive than ever before.
