  • More about Myths and Misunderstandings in White-Collar Crime

Myths and Misunderstandings in White Collar Crime explores the pathologies that hinder our ability to understand and redress white-collar crime. It offers a step-by-step framework for redressing these misunderstandings through code design, or paying greater attention to how we write, frame, and lay out our federal criminal code, to create more coherent and useful laws.

Myths and Misunderstandings in White Collar Crime delves into the complexities that hinder our comprehension and rectification of white-collar crime. The book contends that numerous misinterpretations regarding white-collar crime persist, impeding its enforcement. These misinterpretations include the failure to classify it according to degrees of severity in many jurisdictions, the failure to statutorily distinguish between major and minor defendants, and the inadequacy of statutes in defining crimes, resulting in the prosecution of unwritten offenses.

To address these misunderstandings, Miriam Baer presents a comprehensive framework, rooted in theories of institutional design and behavioral psychology. This framework offers a step-by-step approach for rectifying these issues through code design or by paying greater attention to the way we write, frame, and organize our federal criminal code. A clearer and more subdivided criminal code serves as a foundation for a discourse on white-collar crime that is free from myths and misconceptions.

By clarifying the legal framework, we can foster a more informed and effective approach to addressing white-collar crime, ensuring that individuals and organizations are held accountable for their actions while promoting a greater understanding of these complex offenses.
