Abstract

In this introduction to this special issue of the Journal we broadly consider the problem of white-collar and corporate crime in Asia. Official reports from China show the pervasiveness of current problems and the inherent dangers underlying continued economic growth and reforms. We also consider evidence bearing on the idea that Japan’s remarkably low rate of common crime is likely eclipsed by the level of white-collar and corporate crime, and briefly discuss the institutionalization of economic crime in South Korea. Issues related to the lack of study of white-collar and corporate lawbreaking in Asia are also addressed. Finally, we introduce the papers and topics of this special issue, which include comparative research on cybercrime, the enforcement of intellectual property violations, accounting fraud, financial crime, and offenses in the mutual fund industry.

24. The War Against White-Collar Crime: Elite Lawbreaking and the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol

Author

Pontell, Henry N.

Abstract

AbstractThe Final Report of the Select House Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6th Attack on the United States Capitol released in late 2022, contains a treasure trove of facts indicating that former President Donald Trump and others around him allegedly engaged in a number of crimes related to the insurrection and attempted self-coup. The unprecedented assault on the Capitol, federal and state indictments, and ongoing investigations provide an opportunity to both examine elite criminality and evaluate government response through the lens of white-collar criminology. This essay considers: 1) how government criminality and corruption are facilitated by rationales and excuses that deny effective social condemnation; 2) their political weaponization; 3) how they constitute part of a larger existential war against white-collar crime that seeks to normalize such lawbreaking; and 4) the inherent difficulties in researching, controlling, and preventing elite crime more generally.

Abstract

The study of white-collar and corporate crime has long been focusing mainly on its economic consequences, due to its connection with legitimate professional and business activities. Yet, even since E.H. Sutherland’s seminal studies, there has been a lingering sense of the broader scope of harmful consequences of corporate crime. This essay focuses on the social ‘anomic’ harm related to an ingrained feature of abuse of trust, typical of corporate crimes, as well as the increasing awareness of the ever growing spread and negative impact on human life and health of offences falling under the definition of ‘corporate violence’.

49. White-collar crime or just risky business? The role of fraud in major financial debacles

Author

Pontell, Henry N.

Subjects
Fraud, Law
Abstract

This paper considers the role of fraud in three major financial debacles; the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s, the Orange County, California bankruptcy of 1994, and the U.S. corporate and accounting scandals of 2002. Using concepts, theories and data drawn from the criminological literature on white-collar crime, and the law and economics literature on corporate governance, a 'minimal fraud model' is compared to a 'material fraud model' in accounting for the massive financial losses in these three historical cases. The available evidence points to the need for corporate governance models and resulting regulatory policies to explicitly account for the potential for fraud in order to avoid future financial meltdowns.
