According to Lipmann (2010), white collar crimes are “committed by an individual of high status
in the course of his or her occupation” . He states further the “U.S. Justice Department defines
white-collar crime as an illegal act that employs deceit and concealment rather than the
application of force to obtain money, property, or service, to avoid the payment or loss of
money, or to secure a business or professional advantage” (Contemporary Criminal Law.
