-- The impact and nature of white collar crime -- from the S&L bailout to the local merchant.
-- Environmental crime, hazardous workplaces, medical malfeasance, unsafe products, and more.
Annual losses from white-collar crime may be 50 times as high as those from property crime. In this book, you'll learn just how broad and serious the problem really is. This systematic treatment of white-collar crime and its victims covers the problem in its broadest sense. From local con artists to inside traders, from religious charlatans to residents of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, you'll learn about every type of white-collar crime that damages individuals -- and society as a whole. Unlike most books on white-collar crime, this one focuses on the victims, proving once and for all that this is no victimless crime. Whether you are a criminal justice or public policy professional, a student, or simply a citizen, once you read Profit Without Honor, you'll never be able to look at white collar crime the same way again.
