Law enforcement professionals and criminal justice scholars have debated the most appropriate definition of white-collar crime ever since Edwin Sutherland first coined the phrase in his speech to the American Sociological Society in 1939. The conceptual ambiguity surrounding the term has challenged efforts to construct a body of science that meaningfully informs policy and theory. The Handbook of White-Collar Crime is a unique re-framing of traditional discussions that discusses common topics of white-collar crime who the offenders are, who the victims are, how these crimes are punished, theoretical explanations while exploring how the choice of one definition over another affects research and scholarship on the subject.
