White Collar Criminal Law Explained Great Courses [DVD]

Description: White collar crime is, by all accounts, a booming industry. Even pop culture crams its movies and television shows with stories of fraud, insider trading, and political corruption. We are fascinated by—and seemingly surrounded by—white collar crime and white collar criminals. Consider the rash of white collar crimes we are experiencing today, with Titans of Wall Street prosecuted for insider trading and securities fraud; Parents and coaches indicted for bribery in connection with college admissions; and Senior government officials charged with political corruption. Located at the intersection of law, business, and politics, white collar crime is a critical area of criminal law in the United States. Yet despite how prevalent it is, one of the most surprising aspects of white collar crime is just how legally uncertain its boundaries are. Unlike more clear-cut crimes such as robbery, burglary, or homicide, white collar crimes often raise difficult issues about where to draw the lines between conduct that is merely sleazy or unethical and conduct that is truly criminal. A lot of actions may look like white collar crimes, but are not prosecuted because they are, in fact, not crimes at all. This constant process of definition—and redefinition—is one thing that makes white collar criminal law so fascinating and challenging for prosecutors, defense attorneys, law students, and even laypeople just trying to make sense of major criminal cases in the media.condition info: Original case included!
