Answer-1
White-collar crime is a crime that is committed by virtue of a person’s occupation. It
can range from fraudulent auto repairs to co
uption in the financial world to selling
unsafe products and work environments in some of the biggest organizations. It may
also include theft of objects and cash by employees. White collar crimes may include

crimes harms the public much more than conventional crimes in terms of financial
costs and deaths.

collectively but its nature is different. Both type of crimes has their own victims and the
effects of both these crimes are detrimental to the society but are perceived differently.
