• 1. Are rules and regulations established to protect against management fraud effective? If so, why is fraud still so prevalent? What else can be done to prevent/deter fraud?
• 2. How can you prove intent? If someone doesn't "intend" to commit fraud but nevertheless their actions or inactions lead to fraud, should they be held responsible?
• 3. Do you think society, as a whole, is to blame for top management fraud?
• 4. Compare and contrast conflict theory, differential opportunity, subculture, etc.
• 5. What are your thoughts on the various industry-level antecedents the authors discuss?
• 6. Do you agree with the authors assertion that street crime disproportionately victimizes the poor but seems to imply that management fraud doesn't. Why?
