Economic crime: blown out of proportion or a real treat?
Abstract
There is ambiguity in defining economic crime or sometimes referred to as white collar crime or finance crime. The general notion refers to economic crimes as illegal acts in which offenders' principal motivation appears to be economic gain. However, is it possible to conclude on the offenders' motivation merely by observing the criminal act? Another school of thought claims that economic crimes are illegal acts that successfully provide offenders with an economic return or for which victims incur an economic cost.
