This volume contains a selection of journal articles addressing either the theoretical debates over the causes and responses to white-collar crime or which add to the knowledge about the several kinds of white-collar and business crime. These articles are broken down into three parts. Part I offers a brief introduction to some of the controversy that surrounds the meaning and value of white-collar crime as a criminological category. Part II contains a selection of attempts to explain the causes of white-collar crime. It covers both general reviews of criminological explanations of this type of misbehavior and case studies of particular examples of white-collar crime. Part III offers a selection of descriptions of the social response to various types of white-collar crime as well as an introduction to some of the academic controversies concerning the explanation and justification of the special features of social reaction to these forms of misbehavior.
