White Collar Crime Seminar LAW 807A

Course Number: LAW 807A

Course Credits: 2

Crime rates in general may have dropped dramatically in the U.S. in the past decade but that good news doesn't apply to White Collar Crime. White Collar Crime attracts people of high intelligence and low moral and ethical values as well as con artists and amiable sociopaths. It also offers apparently unlimited opportunities for those skilled in technology to innovate and apply it to criminal deeds. And its economic impact is vast. White Collar crime also presents complex and troubling ethical issues for BOTH prosecutors and defense counsel, an area we will examine in depth.
