Understandin" rel="nofollow">ing White collar Crime Order Description professor has provided us with in" rel="nofollow">instructions and the resources we need to complete this research paper. We cannot use any outside readin" rel="nofollow">ings. I need an outlin" rel="nofollow">ine completed by June 5th. Also, a rough draft is needed by July 5th, and the fin" rel="nofollow">inal paper is do July 20th. Have attached the readin" rel="nofollow">ings and other pertin" rel="nofollow">inent in" rel="nofollow">information. Your Assignment Your assignment is to write a paper on the social and organizational factors that in" rel="nofollow">influence white-collar crime, especially as it occurs in" rel="nofollow">in corporations. Your paper must address the followin" rel="nofollow">ing issues and questions. 1. Identify and discuss the important characteristics of white-collar crime and white-collar offenders. Your answer must address the followin" rel="nofollow">ing four directives. a. Explain" rel="nofollow">in how white-collar crime has been defin" rel="nofollow">ined. b. Explain" rel="nofollow">in how white-collar crime differs from other types of crime. c. Explain" rel="nofollow">in how white-collar offenders differ from other types of crimin" rel="nofollow">inal offenders. d. Explain" rel="nofollow">in how female white-collar offenders differ from male white-collar offenders? 2. Many of the most serious white-collar crimes occur in" rel="nofollow">in large organizations. In this section of your paper, you must a. Identify the characteristics and modes of operation of large organizations that appear to in" rel="nofollow">influence white-collar crime. b. Explain" rel="nofollow">in how these characteristics appear to affect men and women differently in" rel="nofollow">in regard to their in" rel="nofollow">involvement in" rel="nofollow">in white-collar crime. In other words, how do women and men in" rel="nofollow">in large organizations compare to one another in" rel="nofollow">in terms of their in" rel="nofollow">involvement in" rel="nofollow">in white-collar crime? c. You can use examples of cases from the readin" rel="nofollow">ings to illustrate your arguments. 3. As you should have learned from completin" rel="nofollow">ing the first part of the project, most of the people who commit white-collar crimes do not have the same social backgrounds as people who commit ordin" rel="nofollow">inary street crimes. In this section of the paper, discuss a. How people who are otherwise law abidin" rel="nofollow">ing upstandin" rel="nofollow">ing members of the community make decisions and engage in" rel="nofollow">in activities that violate the law in" rel="nofollow">in their work roles. b. How do they justify this behavior to themselves? 4. Fin" rel="nofollow">inally, in" rel="nofollow">in light of what you have learned about white-collar crime by writin" rel="nofollow">ing this paper and what you have learned about the crimin" rel="nofollow">inal justice system in" rel="nofollow">in your other courses, answer this question: a. Do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink the crimin" rel="nofollow">inal justice system as it currently operates can be effective in" rel="nofollow">in controllin" rel="nofollow">ing white-collar crime? If yes, why? If no, why not? b. I want you to make a reasoned argument about the problem of controllin" rel="nofollow">ing corporate crime. Do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink we should rely just on the crimin" rel="nofollow">inal justice system to control corporate crime, or should we depend on regulation, or should we use some combin" rel="nofollow">ination of crimin" rel="nofollow">inal justice and regulatory controls? c. I have assigned three chapters from the book Understandin" rel="nofollow">ing White-Collar Crime: An Opportunity Perspective to give you some ideas, but you should try to brin" rel="nofollow">ing in" rel="nofollow">in what you have learned from other courses or from your own experience as you address this question. This question asks for your opin" rel="nofollow">inion. It has no necessarily right or wrong answer and you do not have to cite any sources in" rel="nofollow">in this part of your paper. I want to know what you thin" rel="nofollow">ink about the potential effectiveness of the crimin" rel="nofollow">inal justice system as a means of controllin" rel="nofollow">ing corporate crime based on what you have learned in" rel="nofollow">in this program. This section of the paper should be from three to five pages in" rel="nofollow">in length. I have provided a readin" rel="nofollow">ing list that provides all of the material that you need to address the issues and questions posed above. In addition, you may consult any outside material that you wish. If you have taken my Semin" rel="nofollow">inar in" rel="nofollow">in White-Collar Crime and still have the readin" rel="nofollow">ings and books for that course, you will fin" rel="nofollow">ind material in" rel="nofollow">in those sources helpful. However, you do not need any additional materials to complete this project other than the material on the readin" rel="nofollow">ing list. List of Readin" rel="nofollow">ings for Option A 1.

Your paper should be divided in" rel="nofollow">into four sections correspondin" rel="nofollow">ing to the four question areas. I Do not turn in" rel="nofollow">in a paper that has no sub-headin" rel="nofollow">ings or divisions within" rel="nofollow">in the text. Please have a title page, and at the end of your paper, please in" rel="nofollow">include a list of references that is organized alphabetically by author. In Text Citations If you take ideas from any of the articles that I’ve asked you to read, you need to give credit to the source. Failin" rel="nofollow">ing to acknowledge the source of an idea is plagiarism. To learn more about what plagiarism is and how to avoid it, see the material on plagiarism that has been posted for this course. In the body of the paper, when you want to cite one of your sources, please do so by puttin" rel="nofollow">ing the last name of the author or authors in" rel="nofollow">in parentheses with the date of the publication. For example, suppose you took an idea from the book by Benson and Simpson, you would cite it this way: Leaders in" rel="nofollow">in large organizations often are clueless about what is goin" rel="nofollow">ing on in" rel="nofollow">in their own companies (Benson and Simpson, 2015). Or like this: Accordin" rel="nofollow">ing to Benson and Simpson (2015), people in" rel="nofollow">in large for profit corporations can make in" rel="nofollow">incredibly dumb decisions. List of References At the end of your paper, please in" rel="nofollow">include a list of references. If you are doin" rel="nofollow">ing Option A your references will most likely only in" rel="nofollow">include the articles on the readin" rel="nofollow">ing list. Therefore, you can cut and paste them from this syllabus in" rel="nofollow">into your paper’s reference list. If you are doin" rel="nofollow">ing Option B, put your references in" rel="nofollow">in the same form as shown above in" rel="nofollow">in the list of readin" rel="nofollow">ings for Option A. Grammar and Style proofread your paper carefully. You have a lot of time to write the paper. So, there is no excuse for misspellin" rel="nofollow">ings and grammatical errors. Your paper should be well organized and well written. Somethin" rel="nofollow">ing that I do to help my writin" rel="nofollow">ing is to read what I write aloud to myself. It is amazin" rel="nofollow">ing how quickly you can spot clumsy writin" rel="nofollow">ing when you read somethin" rel="nofollow">ing out loud. To paraphrase Duke Ellin" rel="nofollow">ington, “if it doesn’t sound good, it ain" rel="nofollow">in’t good” and it certain" rel="nofollow">inly won’t come across clearly to me or anyone else who reads your work.
