Synopsis The aim of this subject is to develop in students an understanding of the meanings, theories and issues of corporate crime, white collar crime, and corruption. The identity of the individual and the corporate citizen will be examined in the context of difficulties in prosecuting white collar criminals. The response by policing agencies, supernumerary policing bodies and corporate regulatory agencies will be a continuing theme as the subject examines an overview of a variety of white collar crimes through the use of case studies, computer crime, and government and public sector illegality (including police corruption). Private sector self-regulation and ethics will be examined prior to discussion of white collar crime prevention.
