collar crime is is a phrase that came

about probably uh in the early 1900s it

really uh refers to commercial or

business related offenses uh that are to

be distinguished from Street crime such

as Robbery Homicide and and offenses

like that and vehicular homicide a

white-collar crime typically involves

commercial offenses whereby an

individual has has cheated either

institutions like Banks or individuals

out of money or products that have a

high value or has defrauded uh

individuals tax cases are considered

white collar cases where failure to pay

taxes or a fraudulent preparation of tax

returns that type of situation so again

like other Federal cases these are

sophisticated cases and they require

and criminal defense attorney with

commensurate experience who has handled

these type of cases before white collars

simply can be compared to Blue Collar uh

and in in the sense that those

individuals charged with these crimes

typically are uh either middle class or

upper middle class individuals who have

taken advantage of the system for a

financial gain
