A Contemporary Study of the Decision to Incarcerate White-Collar and Street Property Offender

The November article, written by Shanna Van Slyke and William D Bales, looks at the traditional understanding of white-collar offences as somehow less serious and therefore deserving of lesser sentences. They examine whether this tendency has survived the white-collar crime scandals of the early 2000s, notably the Enron episode. The research looks at the sentencing of white-collar and street property offenders in Florida from 1994 to 2004, taking into account legal and extra-legal factors to determine whether a shift in punitivism is evident.

The article provides a timely opportunity to discuss the popular perception of white-collar crime in the wider context of recent Irish events and the seeming groundswell of criticism towards bankers and others perceived to have been complicit in and responsible for the economic downturn. Is the current willingness to take white-collar crime seriously here to stay, or is it an expressive short-term reaction to events?

    These Lock Systems Replacement Partsof the traditional keys with better and more secure automation features like remote locking and unlocking. In these locks, a latch or bolt is made to cross the opening between the side of the door and the doorframe, thereby preventing access. Digital Door Locks, also known as keyless doors, the locks replace the keys with a digital screen, where you can put numeric digits as a code.
