White-collar crimes often involve deception of a gullible victim and generally occur where an individual's job, power, or personal influence provide the access and opportunity to abuse lawful procedures for unlawful gain.— (United States Bureau of Justice Statistics, Report to the Nation on Crime & Justice, 1988 , p. 9)
White-collar crimes include a multitude of dimensions that continue to expand and complicate this area of study.
