Meh. Some good content.

[Sara · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book consists of many different journal articles regarding the topic of white-collar crime. Each of the articles was written by a different author/researcher, and offers a variety of perspectives on this topic.

This is not a book to read just for fun, but it is a good supplement to a textbook. To be honest, this is a book that I would not want to read again, but might reference in any papers that I will write later in my college career. If you are looking for empirical references about white-collar crime, this is the book for you.
