“…Convenience theory is an emerging theoretical perspective to explain the phenomenon of WCC where convenience was first introduced as a core concept by Gottschalk (2022). Recently, the theory has been reviewed (Chan and Gibbs, 2020; Hansen, 2020; Oka, 2021; Vasiu, 2021; Vasiu and Podgor, 2019) and applied by several scholars such as Asting and Gottschalk (2022), Braaten and Vaughn (2021), Dearden and Gottschalk (2021), Desmond et al (2022), Qu (2021), Stadler and Gottschalk (2022) and Sterri and Borge (2022).…”

Purpose This paper aims to understand the involvement of women in white-collar crime (WCC) also referred to as pink-collar crimes. WCC is present around the globe and has created a word for itself. Design/methodology/approach The paper is designed by studying the WCC in the area of Iran, Portugal, Norway, India and the USA. Findings The paper attempts to move beyond the traditional perspectives of emancipation versus focal concern, which argue that less inequality will increase women involvement in WCC versus women socializing into accepting responsibilities for social concerns by caring for others. Research limitations/implications As the data is restricted, this study is based on the limited data available on the internet. Originality/value This paper is an original work of the authors.

“…The convenience theory is an emerging theoretical perspective to explain the phenomenon of white-collar crime where convenience was first introduced as a core concept by Gottschalk (2017). Recently, the theory has been reviewed (Chan and Gibbs, 2020; Hansen, 2020; Oka, 2021; Vasiu, 2021; Vasiu and Podgor, 2019) and applied by several scholars such as Asting and Gottschalk (2022), Braaten and Vaughn (2021), Dearden and Gottschalk (2020), Desmond et al (2021), Qu (2021), Stadler and Gottschalk (2022) and Sterri and Borge (2022). A combination of motive, opportunity and willingness determines the extent of white-collar crime convenience, as illustrated in the structural model in Figure 1.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the extent to which white-collar crime makes sense. Understanding business offending reflects the degree of sensemaking among respondents in the current survey research. Making sense implies a number of factors that influence understandability. An understandable act is not necessarily acceptable or justifiable. At a university in Iran, criminal law and criminology students answered a questionnaire regarding their extent of understanding of business offenders. Design/methodology/approach The research method is the use of experimental data using a questionnaire in one of the units of the Islamic Azad University in Iran, where 300 students were invited to respond to an online survey. Findings The respondents found it on average understandable that top executives and other privileged individuals abuse their positions to commit financial crime when they have problems with their personal finances, when the business struggles financially and faces the threat of bankruptcy, and when they offer bribes in corrupt countries to obtain business contracts. The extent of understandability varies with a number of propositions in the convenience theory. Originality/value This article has not been submitted elsewhere and is original.
