The handbook of white-collar crime [electronic resource] / edited by Melissa L. Rorie.

"The primary strength of the handbook is that it will cover a broad range of topics from many different perspectives, accomplished using nationally and internationally recognized experts in the field. Despite this broad coverage, though, this book will provide clarity for scholars of white-collar crime by clearly distinguishing what is known about specific types of crime within this broad paradigm. In addition, this book will be written to be more approachable for readers at the undergraduate level, practitioners, and the public--but will also have information relevant for advanced academic scholars. Finally, this book will recruit manuscripts from young scholars (as well as established scholars) and from international researchers in countries not often represented in this field. Specifically, we include chapters examining white-collar crimes in Africa and Central/South America--these continents are woefully underrepresented in the field of white-collar crime"-- Provided by publisher.
