Federal White Collar Crimes in Massachusetts
Conviction rates in federal court are very high and only few lawyers in the Commonwealth are experienced handling matters in Federal court.
In Federal Court in the District of Massachusetts in 1998, the conviction rate was nearly 91.7% This closely follows the national trend in which conviction rates in federal court are around 90%. The federal government and its investigative agencies use every available tool to convict. Most cases are well documented and the US Attorneys are well trained and prepared. To defend the accused in Federal court requires a combination of determination and experience with the federal court system. Paramount is familiarity with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Often much of the case will involve the use and negotiation of these guidelines. The guidelines are complicated and often require mandatory sentences. They eliminate much judicial discretion and attempt to impose a uniform penalty. The guidelines use factors to establish harshness or leniency. In cases where conviction seems inevitable, your attorney will seek out mitigating factors and push for what is called downward departure within the guidelines. These provisions for reductions in the guidelines can include no prior criminal history, the degree of the accused participation in the crime and numerous other factors. Often the guidelines themselves are a fierce battleground and can spell the difference between years in prison and a less onerous penalty.

DA turns to business for white-collar crimefighting
By Jon Sarche ASSOCIATED PRESS 10:33 a.m. August 12, 2005 "It's a small town and everyone knows everyone. We were dumbfounded," chamber President Rick Hulstrom said. "This is just the way things happen now." The growth in white-collar crime has forced Weld County's new district attorney to take an unusual step. Ken Buck, a former prosecutor who specialized in economic crimes at the U.S. attorney's office in Denver, is raising money from businesses hurt by white-collar crooks to pay an investigator or prosecutor dedicated to stopping the crime. "There are new businesses and new people that don't operate on the old handshake-is-a-bond mentality, so there is a lot of fraud going on in Weld County," Buck said. A handful of prosecutors elsewhere have taken similar steps to combat "the dark side of economic growth" that comes with rapid population growth, said Josh Marquis, the district attorney in Clatsop County, Ore., and a vice president of the National District Attorneys Association. "You have things happening quickly, you have people with money and those are targets of opportunity," Marquis said. "So people who are running scams will go there. It also overwhelms the existing public safety (officers), who generally are used to dealing with crime in the old sense of the word."

Special Prosecutions White Collar Crime Information Fact Sheet Who should you call if you are a victim? "Today's business environment is a 'brave new world' and criminals have been quick to adapt. Traditional white collar crime has become increasingly complex due to the advent of technology. Business and law enforcement leaders need to understand this transformation in crime and also must know the trends in new high tech/cyber crime. The vulnerability of businesses to these new kinds of crimes must be clearly recognized." - District Attorney, Phil Cline E conomic crime takes place in all segments of business. It was once thought that economic crime only occurred in large financial centers. This could not be further from the truth. Economic crime can be as simple as an employee "tapping the till" to a complex computer fraud. No matter the location, urban or rural, manufacturing or agricultural, sophisticated criminals continually develop schemes to steal from the un-alert.
In years past, such complex crimes overwhelmed local law enforcement. The mass of paper, bookkeeping records, computer output and the lack of understanding about legal concepts often placed significant road blocks to detection, investigation and eventual prosecution. In response to the growth of this type of crime and appreciating its difficulties, the District Attorney's Office developed a White Collar Crime Unit in 1996, dedicated to the prosecution of economic crime.

White collar crime can kill
Robert R. Courtney, a former Kansas City pharmacy owner, received received a 30-year jail sentence yesterday for a decade-long skim that involved diluting cancer patients' chemotherapy medications. Prosecutors estimate that the fraud may have involved 400 doctors, 4200 patients and as many as 98,000 prescriptions, some of which contained less than 1 percent of the prescribed drug quantity. It is likely that the drug dilutions contributed to the death of at least 17 patients. There isn't much to say about this one. As the judge said when pronouncing sentence, Courtney's crimes are "a shock to the civilized conscience." The sentencing judge, in fact, went into a fine tirade that quite befitted the occasion. He got one thing wrong, though, when he stated that Courtney's actions were "beyond understanding." They aren't beyond understanding at all. Greed has been with us for a very long time. After all, how different is Courtney from any other white-collar criminal who makes money on the side by selling shoddy products? What the Courtney case proves is that white-collar crime is not as bloodless as many people seem to believe. There's something about embezzlement and fraud that leads people to classify them less seriously than crimes against the person or even street-level burglaries - but all kinds of things can be stolen, including life-giving drugs. A sufficiently motivated white-collar criminal will steal whatever is available, whether it's his employees' pension funds, chemotherapy medicine or - like James C. Evans in North Carolina a few years back - food aid earmarked for the Third World. Greed can kill - and when it doesn't, the reason is more likely to be luck than morality.

The Academic Siberia of Corporate Criminology
excerpted from the book
Corporate Predators
by Russel Mokhiber and Robert Weissman
Common Courage Press, 1999
Want to be a corporate criminologist? Prepare for the cold winds of academic Siberia.
The American Society of Criminology held its 50th Annual Meeting recently in Washington, D.C. The program for the meeting lists 503 sessions. Fewer than ten of those sessions dealt in any way with issues of white-collar and corporate crime.
Laureen Snider, a Professor of Sociology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, attended the conference. She anticipated the dearth of papers on corporate crime. The title of her paper: "The Sociology of Corporate Crime: An Obituary."
Snider's point: while corporate crime itself might be increasing around the globe, the study of corporate crime by academics has been declining rapidly over the years.
If academics study in the field of white collar crime, they study not the crimes committed by corporations, but crimes against corporations-the traditional white-collar crimes of theft, embezzlement and the like, plus newly defined white-collar crimes such as "theft of time."
Instead of focusing on criminal pollution, or the manufacture of hazardous pharmaceuticals that kill, or illegal union-busting by major corporations, the few researchers studying white collar crime are looking at how employees steal from employers.

Estimates from analysts indicate that white collar crime cost the nation upwards of $200 billion per year . That's much more costly to society than "traditional" crimes like burglary and theft, which accounts for a fraction of that amount. As a result, prosecutors and courts are cracking down on white-collar crimes. If you have been accused of a white-collar crime, you should have an experienced advocate looking out for your interests.
Frequently Asked Questions about White Collar Crime
Q: What is "white collar crime"? A: White collar crime is a term originally used to describe criminal activity by members of the upper classes in connection with their professions. Today, the most common definition of white collar crime no longer focuses on the social status of the offender but rather on the type of conduct involved: illegal acts using deceit and concealment to obtain money, property, or services, or to secure a business or professional advantage. White collar crimes are usually less violent than other crimes, but their effects can be just as devastating, such as in the recent Enron case. In some cases, businesses or corporations may be found guilty of white collar crimes. This guilt is in addition to the guilt of any employees or officers involved in the crime.

    FBI National Press Office
    White Collar Crime Study The Federal Bureau of Investigation today released The Measurement of White-Collar Crime Using Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Data, a study in the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Publication Series. Defined as ". . . a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation," white-collar crime extracted from NIBRS data accounts for 4 percent of crime reported. Four percent of all arrestees reported in NIBRS were individuals arrested for bad check offenses. The majority of white-collar crime offenders have had contact with their victims and are typically white males aged late-twenties to early-thirties.
    Computer crime, or technocrime, can be extracted in NIBRS by the data element that notes the offender was suspected of using a computer or computer equipment to perpetrate the crime. NIBRS data demonstrate that white-collar crime comprises 42 percent of the offenses committed with a computer. Of those offenses, the crime of larceny-theft accounts for the largest proportion. (See figure above.)
    White-collar crime, on average, accounts for a greater dollar loss per incident when compared to other property crime incidents. The majority of white-collar crime incidents, with the exception of wire fraud, occur within public spaces.

    White Collar Crime, Business Fraud, and Regulatory Fraud
    The proposal before the Commission would (as did the emergency amendment) add two new levels to the loss table in section 2B1.1 at the top end, providing for even greater penalties for frauds involving more than $200 and $400 million respectively.It would also make permanent various new provisions enhancing penalties when the fraud in question affects a large number of victims, involves a director or officers of a publicly traded company, or substantially endangers the safety and soundness of a financial institution, a public company, or a large private company.

    Expert Attorneys Represent Defendants of Alleged White-Collar Crime
    By Marcus Fitoussi Special to theBESTdefense.com White-collar crime, particularly felonies involving the use of computers, has become the primary law enforcement challenge of the 21st century. A survey found that white-collar crime costs consumers as much as $450 billion annually, yet this is an area that is little-understood by law enforcement and the media. For every news story involving white-collar crime, a hundred more appear involving violent or "blue-collar" crime. White-collar crime, however, is an increasing realm of speciality for criminal defense attorneys. Indeed, navigating through the complex maze of laws surrounding alleged white-collar crime has become the primary focus of Chase Law Group, one of the largest criminal defense firms in the country. Most white-collar crime offenders are ordinary people who for a multitude of reasons make rash and uncharacteristically poor decisions. They see their way out of difficulty through illegal and fraudulent means. Oftentimes a good defense can be found for these situations. White-collar criminal defense is a fascinating and compelling legal challenge that brings out the best in conscientious attorneys.

    The concept of white-collar crime draws attention to definitions of deviance which are determined by the powerful. Edwin Sutherland initially coined the term "white-collar crime" in order to point out weaknesses in typical crime theory that considered social pathology as the primary explanation behind criminal behavior White-collar crime refers to crimes that are committed by "respectable people" during the course of their occupation . Crimes which are considered white-collar include embezzling, price fixing, insider buying, fraud, falsification of expense accounts (or other records), and theft of materials. This category of crime casts doubt on the notion that poverty breads crime
