“White Collar Crimes”
and Specialized Crimes
These types of offenses are usually theft or fraud cases,
but the act of committing the crime is more sophisticated
and complex. Additionally, persons who are accused of committing
these types of offenses do not fit the stereotypical criminal
profile; they tend to be corporate executives or mid-level
managers, usually college educated. All have one thing in
common – they had access to financial records.
Most of these crimes happen “on paper,” which entails large
values of documents, records, and transactions; some of
which may have occurred over a period of years. Many of
these crimes are associated with federal prosecution; however,
in the recent wake of corporate scandals and mortgage real
estate frauds, many State prosecutors’ offices have established
specialized divisions to investigate and prosecute these
offenses.
The unique element in some of these cases is that the person
accused may have unfortunately accidentally committed the
offense. Despite the perception that many of these persons
are educated and intelligent, they may have been trained
to do their job in a way that meets a criminal definition.
Because of the sophisticated and complex nature of these
cases, a person accused would benefit from a
criminal defense lawyer
with experience in these specialized divisions.
