Occupational crime is committed by those using their legitimate employment as an opportunity for crime. Researchers interested in occupational crime focused on individuals, and researchers interested in corporate crime focused on organizations. The factors identified as contributing to organizational crime may also contribute to occupational crime. Unlike conventional crime, Occupational Crime is white-collar crime committed by an individual or group of individuals exclusively for personal gain. The distinction between occupational crime and organizational crime is subtle. Occupational crime consists of offenses committed by individuals for themselves in the course of their occupations and these offenses include fraud, forgery, embezzlement, bribery, and extortion.
Occupational crime must be understood as part of the economic system’s structure and culture. Occupational crimes include White-Collar Crime, Blue-collar Crime, Pink-collar Crime, Black-collar crime, Political Crime, Corporate Crime, Red-collar Crime, and Green-collar Crimes.
Occupational Crime
- Gary S. Green.
This text departs from the problematic concept of
white-collar crime, which only emphasizes the status of the offender, by
demonstrating that occupational crime is committed in the course of legitimate employment. Green presents a working definition of occupational crime and examines four
subtypes: organizational occupational crime, state authority crime, professional
occupational crime, and individual occupational crime. The text thoroughly describes major
criminological theories, including sociology of law,
and then applies them to specific kinds of occupational offenses throughout the book.
Occupational Crime is a blending of academic theory, legal issues, anecdotes, case
studies, empirical evidence research, and policy
analysis from the vast literature on occupational crime.
