White-collar Crime in South Africa: A Comparative Perspective1 By Lala Camerer Researcher, Crime and Policing Policy Project, Institute for Defence Policy Published in African Security Review Vol 5 No 2, 1996 INTRODUCTION numerous conferences on commercial crime facilitated by organised business and the South African Police Services; police Commissioner Fivaz’s declaration of serious economic offences as a " priority crime ";4 and While investigative journalists in South Africa have done some significant work in this field, very little academic research on white-collar crime has as yet been undertaken. This can be explained partly by the fact that criminological research generally tends to reflect definitions by the public and state agencies of the principal social problems.6 Given the increasing focus on white-collar crime issues, it is argued that interdisciplinary policy research - combining comparative perspectives, gauges the nature and extent of the problem and suggests practical ways of tackling these crimes that can be utilised by the various stakeholders - is both necessary and desirable in South Africa. COMPARATIVE QUANTIFICATION OF WHITE-COLLAR CRIME It is well documented that the financial cost of white-collar crime far exceeds the value derived from all street crimes. However, cost and harm need to be understood in more than purely financial terms. A vivid example points to the illegal diversion of funds from an aid agency where the consequences may extend far beyond monetary costs to cause the death of thousands from malnutrition.7 Tax evasion may have major policy implications, for if nations cannot raise the revenue to meet their needs, the institutions and programmes that have been geared to benefit their citizens must either falter or be scaled down to an affordable level.8

Internet Access 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."

WHITE-COLLAR CRIMES? White-collar crimes are those committed in a business setting for financial gain. The perpetrators are individuals or corporations which appear above reproach and the crimes are non-violent in nature. Because the victims are not physically threatened, these actions are also sometimes called victimless crimes. VICTIMLESS CRIMES?
