WHITE COLLAR CRIME CHARGES
What Are White-Collar Crimes?
California white-collar crimes are offenses that are typically disassociated with violence. These offenses are distinguished from blue-collar crimes, which often involve physical violence and might include burglary, assault, drug use, battery, and rape.
What Are Some Of The Most Common White-Collar Crimes?
- Fraud
- Embezzlement
- Internet crimes
- Forgery
- Bribery
- Ponzi schemes
- Racketeering
- Game fixing
- Computer Crimes
Since White-Collar Crimes Are Generally Non-Violent, Does That Make Them Lesser Offenses Than Blue-Collar Crimes?
Not necessarily. White-collar, criminal activities can devastate victims, cost millions of dollars to undo, and potentially lead to physical harm indirectly. For instance, a senior citizen who gets conned out of her social security check by a white-collar criminal may not be able to obtain prescription medications, thus suffering from health complications later on as a result.
Given The Complicated Matters Of Some White-Collar Crimes, How Do White-Collar Trials Typically Proceed?
The answer largely depends on the nature of the accusation and the jurisdiction. If you have committed a fraud in Southern California, for instance, you may be tried locally in Orange County or in Federal Court. In certain cases, defendants may agree to a plea bargain (accepting some guilt for reduced sentencing), thus leading to a rapid resolution. In other cases, investigations can stretch on for months or even years, depending on the intricacy of the crime committed and the amount of money involved.
