"Everything is collective-farm, everything is mine ..." Not collective-farm, but corporate, but the essence of the matter does not change. And so, it happens that small bipod carry home some paper clips, some fountain pens, and executives shamelessly climb into a corporate pocket. Their production is larger amounts. Every time a loud bankruptcy occurs in the world or another oligarch goes to jail, conversations about the crime of the "white-collar workers" begin. In order to combat this scourge, they usually offer toughening punitive measures, increasing the transparency of financial reporting and moral re-education of employees. However, the white-collar workers are not getting any cleaner, and the profit from their shadow operations is growing year by year.
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, leading forensic scientists in the world believed that crime was an eternal companion of poverty, and if a wealthy person suddenly broke the law, there was immediately an explanation for this: bad heredity, mental illness, etc. And only with the onset of the Great Depression, when society passionately desired to punish those responsible for the troubles that fell upon him, the opinion of experts has changed. In those years, a hail of allegations of abuse, financial fraud and fraud, which, according to the townsfolk, led to a serious crisis, fell on representatives of senior management, officials, and stock market players. The outrage of the society was especially great due to the fact that stocks at that time were in the hands of millions of Americans and the stock market crash hit almost everyone.
In 1939, when numerous scandals of that time had not yet been forgotten, the American sociologist and forensic scientist Edwin Sutherland proposed using the term "white-collar crime". "White-collar workers" were called people of intellectual labor: directors of enterprises, bank employees, brokers, engineers, lawyers, etc., in contrast to "blue-collar workers," that is, proletarians who did not wear white shirts so as not to get dirty at work. To the "white collar" scientist attributed "crimes committed by a respected person with high social status, which are associated with his professional activities". That is, if an entrepreneur began to fake bills, his crime should be regarded as "white collar", but the theft by the same entrepreneur of silver forks from a restaurant remained within the framework of ordinary criminality, since he had nothing to do with his professional activities. The sociologist insisted that breaking the law is a common method of doing business among representatives of the political and business elite, and not just "humiliated and offended." The term Sutherland has taken root, and now many offenses are included in the crime of white-collar workers, including bribes, kickbacks, insurance fraud, environmental pollution, unfair advertising, deliberate bankruptcies and much more, if only the criminal had a "high social status", and the crime was committed by him in the workplace. However, there were times when no one heard about the "white-collar workers," but this kind of crime already existed.
One of the most ancient types of crimes committed by "respected people" was and remains embezzlement. From ancient times, treasurers and majordoms ran their hands in the state or master’s pockets. Moreover, the appropriation of the employer's wealth was often regarded as a kind of increase in salary. This, in particular, was written in his diary by a 17th-century British official Samuel Pips, who served for several years as chief accountant of the Royal Maritime Department. He got a job as a patron, Lord Sandwich, who immediately explained the rules of the game to his young protege. "A salary will not make you rich," the lord said, "the opportunities that a person occupies in his position are important."
