  • 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, arguing that misinterpretations about federal white-collar crime lead to overcriminalization and underenforcement. Miriam Baer offers a step-by-step framework for redressing these problems by paying greater attention to how we write, frame, and lay out our federal criminal code, leading to more informed and productive deliberation and fewer myths and misunderstandings.

Myths and Misunderstandings in White-Collar Crime delves into the intricate web of pathologies that hinder our comprehension and rectification of white-collar crime. The book contends that misinterpretations regarding federal white-collar crime impede its legislative, enforcement, and discourse, resulting in its overcriminalization and under-enforcement. Numerous these maladies can be attributed to the federal code's failure to categorize white-collar offenses according to their severity levels, as well as the legislature's delegation of criminal lawmaking to other institutions. Drawing upon her profound expertise in the federal code and theories of institutional design and behavioral psychology, Miriam Baer presents a comprehensive framework for addressing these issues. By emphasizing the meticulous crafting, framing, and organization of our federal criminal code, she advocates for a clearer and more subdivided code that fosters informed and fruitful deliberation, ultimately reducing the prevalence of myths and misunderstandings.
