White-collar crime is defined both in an offense-based perspective and an offender-based perspective. The offense-based perspective focuses on non-violent acts for financial gain, while the offender-based perspective focuses on members of the elite in society who abuse their professional positions for financial gain. Applying both of these definitions, this book pursues a close comparative analysis of a number of key international white-collar crime case studies. Examining the formal ritual of the criminal legal process, the book considers the experience of defendants within the performative context of the other legal actors in the trial: advocates, judges and public participants. In doing so, the book offers a nuanced and compelling socio-legal analysis of the process of white-collar trial and punishment, whilst critically exploring the perceptions and experiences of elite defendants within this under-researched area of the public sphere.
This book will appeal to scholars and students of socio-legal studies, corporate law, and criminal justice.
