Description
When the concept of white collar crime is discussed, it might not cause the same frightening feeling as other types of crime. Yet, this does not make its effects any less damaging. White collar crime began with pen to paper fraudulent activity, and it has evolved to be so much more complex than that. With the incorporation and evolution of technology occurring rapidly, the opportunity to commit white collar crime has broadened. This study will review the impacts of technology on white collar crime and project what white collar crime will look like in the future. To prove the hypothesis that the evolution of technology has had a large impact on white collar crimes, many factors are going to need to be examined. In order to avoid bias, we will look at sources from experts in the technology spaces, criminologists, and the criminals themselves. I plan to demonstrate that technology has expanded the boundaries of white collar crimes, making it much more possible for many types of damaging attacks to occur. Furthermore, I will highlight that these crimes will only continue to worsen and be more possible as technology continues to be incorporated into our homes and businesses.
