White-collar crime refers to non-violent, financially motivated offenses committed by individuals, businesses, or government officials. These crimes typically involve deceit and are aimed at gaining money or property. Common examples include fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering. Unlike traditional crimes, white-collar crimes often occur in professional settings and can have significant economic impacts. They can undermine trust in institutions and lead to substantial financial losses for individuals and organizations. Law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies work to investigate and prosecute these offenses to maintain integrity in the financial system.
