Level of public awareness:

White Collar Crime is commonly named as “invisible,” public awareness is relatively low. This is for
many reasons. WCC is underreported because of its extreme complexity. The offenders are also
usually high status which means many are disregarded, and a lot of White-Collar Crime are de-
labelled as breaches of regulations rather than labelled as White-Collar Crime.

investors at his company, Nasdaq for his own personal gain. He was eventually caught out by Harry
Markopoulos and arrested, with 150 years in prison. General examples of these are: Ponzi schemes,
fraud, embezzlement and money laundering.

Moral Crimes

from societies moral code and are highly frowned down upon because of this. Examples of these are
prostitution, vagrancy or gambling.
