Write a research paper on a topic which should be relevant to White Collar Crime and the elements of our course.
When submitting your topic please submit a written proposal to me identifying a recent corporate, occupational or governmental white collar crime or scandal.
The final paper should meet the following criteria:
1) Identify and classify all the key people involved in the crime including perpetrators and victims. Give all necessary background on the key players.
2) Thoroughly explain the type of crime committed and place it into a proper typology.
3) Discuss the legal process used to prosecute the crime(s). Was it proper and sufficient? What, if any defenses were raised? Did they have merit?
4) Analyze any regulations or social controls subsequently implemented to avoid future crimes of this nature.
