White Collar Crime is a term that was coined in the 1930’s that referred to crimes that were being committed by otherwise highly respected and upstanding citizens. Today the description simply implies that the crime was not one of violence. There are literally hundreds of crimes that are considered white collar and the criminals are usually sophisticated, smart and well educated. According to the F.B.I. reports, the losses to the US exceed 300 billion dollars a year.

Below are some of the many crimes which are considered to be white collar:

Throughout the Unites States there are several law enforcement agencies that are working together to stop these illegal activities. Spearheading the movement is the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s WCC task force that operates in 45 different regional territories. The task force is the largest operation in the F.B.I.

If you are involved with an organization that you believe is participating in a criminal activity, there are important factors about the law and your rights that you need to be aware of. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. The responsibility to remain as a law abiding citizen is the burden of every individual. Would you want the F.B.I. task forces to be targeting your every move?
