White collar crimes
White collar crimes are felonies or misdemeanors
that are usually committed by a person in the
course of his business or political
dealings. White collar is not specifically a
legal designation. These type of cases are filed
as felonies or misdemeanors. (See the pages on
this website regarding felonies and misdemeanors
for more information.) However, white collar is
more of a descriptive term of the type of case,
which usually involved an unlawful, fraudulent
taking of money from a business or person. White
collar crimes have become easier to commit and
harder to track due to computers and the
internet. In many cases the person committing the
crime is never seen.

Theft  Theft is the taking of property owned by
someone else without the owners consent while
intending to deprive the owner of it permanently
or to remove it from the owners possession for

be deprived of a major portion of the value or
enjoyment of the property. The property can be
moved even a small distance and kept for any
period of time, however brief.
