Crimes of the Middle Classes: White-Collar Offenders in the Federal Courts (Yale Studies on White-Collar Crime Serie)

In this major study of convicted white-collar offenders in America, Weisburd, Wheeler, Waring, and Bode show that, contrary to public assumption, the majority of white-collar criminals are not wealthy but come from the middle classes and that judges are not more lenient with these offenders but often punish them more harshly than less socially privileged criminals.Ms. Nancy Bode is the author of 'Crimes of the Middle Classes: White-Collar Offenders in the Federal Courts (Yale Studies on White-Collar Crime Serie)', published 1991 under ISBN 9780300049527 and ISBN 0300049528.
