“…Providing frequencies along with the percentages would have made the results more informative to the reader. Some variables (e.g., motives, prior convictions, and prior arrests) had missing data, so interpretation of these variables was problematic (Daly, 1989;Dodd, 2004;Weisburd et al, 1990). Dodd (2004) mentioned that data were missing for many variables included in the study.…”

Dodd did not provide frequencies, means, or percentages for these variables; so it can be difficult to draw any conclusions from these data.…”

“…Holtfreter also considered corruption to be a type of fraud, but Coleman considered corruption and bribery to be a separate entity from fraud. In another study (Dodd, 2004), it was hard to discern whether several of the offenses included in the study were actually white-collar offenses (i.e., damage, willful delay, evasion of fees) because their parameters were not defined.…”

“…Analyses suited for categorical dependent variables (e.g., chi-square analyses) would have been more appropriate. Dodd (2004) concluded from an SSA plot that two subtypes of whitecollar offenders existed (i.e., "troublemaker" and "nothing-to-lose" offender subtypes). It should be acknowledged that Dodd's research question would have been more appropriately answered with cluster analysis instead of an SSA.…”

“…A small percentage of these offenders demonstrated past convictions (22.0%), past felony convictions (10.0%), and previous incarceration (6.0%) (Weisburd et al, 1990). Dodd (2004) utilized employee records of white-collar offenses kept by a United Kingdom package shipment business. A total of 103 employees were included in the sample because they committed one of the following occupational offenses: damaging property, stealing, willful delay, evasion of fees, fraud, and embezzlement.…”

This article critically reviewed 16 studies on the demographic and psychological characteristics of white-collar criminals. Some of the more-supported findings imply white-collar offenders are older, Caucasian, employed, and have a high school diploma or higher education. They also tended to be low in conscientiousness, agreeableness, and self-control. The most prominent limitations of the reviewed studies were the lack of a uniform definition of white-collar crime, not controlling for extraneous variables, and failing to control for type I error. Future research needs to explore how female white-collar offenders may be unique from male white-collar offenders. Several psychological variables (e.g., criminal thinking, psychopathy, motivations) could be investigated to further treatment practices.

The book series International Library of Ethics, Law and the New Medicine comprises volumes with an international and interdisciplinary focus. The aim of the Series is to publish books on foundational issues in (bio) ethics, law, international health care and medicine. The 28 volumes that have already appeared in this series address aspects of aging, mental health, AIDS, preventive medicine, bioethics and many other current topics. This Series was conceived against the background of increasing globalization and interdependency of the world's cultures and governments, with mutual influencing occurring throughout the world in all fields, most surely in health care and its delivery. By means of this Series we aim to contribute and cooperate to meet the challenge of our time: how to aim human technology to good human ends, how to deal with changed values in the areas of religion, society, culture and the self-definition of human persons, and how to formulate a new way of thinking, a new ethic. We welcome book proposals representing the broad interest of the interdisciplinary and international focus of the series. We especially welcome proposals that address aspects of 'new medicine', meaning advances in research and clinical health care, with an emphasis on those interventions and alterations that force us to re-examine foundational issues.More information about this series at
