Definición

  • White-collar crime (WCC) can be defined as theft by deception and similar types of criminal wrongdoing (e.g., corruption schemes such as those characterized by bribery, kickbacks, illegal gratuities, etc.) committed by natural persons, whether individually or in concert, for their personal benefit. WCC overlaps to some extent with corporate crime (also known as economic crime) committed by natural persons for the primary benefit of artificial persons (namely, their employers).
