RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING:

White collar crime refers to the offenses that are designed to produce financial gain using one form of deception. This particular type of crime is committed by those people in the business world who as a result of their job position are able to gain access to large amounts of others people money. The most common white collar crimes and various types of fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion and money laundering. White collar crimes can be prosecuted at the state or federal level, depending on whether a state or federal law was broken. And if convicted, these crimes usually result in jail time, large fines and restitution to the victims. Back in 1989 a number of people targeted Wall Street and billionaire investment banker Michael Milken whom were involved in white collar crime, embezzlement. Federal prosecutor had used the criminal RICO statutes to prosecute them in business and finance. RICO is the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act; a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. I think this type of punishment is used because of the severity and large amounts of money thats involved.
