Oxford Handbook of White-Collar Crime, Hardcover by Van Slyke, Shanna R. (EDT); Benson, Michael L. (EDT); Cullen, Francis T.

Thus, white-collar crime remains an ambiguous and even controversial topic among academics, with a relative dearth
of scholarly focus on the issue.
The Oxford Handbook of White-Collar Crime offers a comprehensive treatment of the most up-to-date theories and research regarding white-collar crime. Contributors tackle a vast range of topics, including the impact of white-collar crime, the contexts in which white-collar crime occurs, current crime
policies and debates, and examinations of the criminals themselves. The volume concludes with a set of essays that discuss potential responses for controlling white-collar crime, as well as promising new avenues for future research. Uniting conceptual theories, empirical research, and ethnographic
data, the Handbook provides the first unified analytic framework on white-collar crime.
Given the astronomical aggregate losses to victims, building a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics of white-collar crime is a topic of immediate social concern. The definitive resource on white-collar crime, this Handbook will be a valuable resource for developing both intellectual and
policy-related solutions.
