The book develops the concept of convenience as the main explanation for crime occurrence. When white-collar crime becomes less convenient, then crime rates will go down. Convenience theory is applied to an empirical sample of convicted white-collar criminals to identify characteristics of each dimension. Internal investigations of white-collar crime are discussed, and corporate social responsibility against white-collar crime is emphasized.
