Explain Gary S. Green’s typology of organized crime

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Gary S. Green proposed a four-part typology of occupational crime:


  • Organizational occupational crime is committed for the benefit of an employer or organization, but only the employer or organization—not individual employees—benefits.

  • State authority occupational crime is committed by people exercising their state-based authority, is occupation specific, and can be committed only by officials in public office or those working for them.

  • Professional occupational crime is committed by professionals while in their occupational capacity (such as physicians, attorneys, and psychologists).

  • Individual occupational crime, committed by an individual acting alone, is a kind of catchall category that includes personal income-tax evasion, theft of goods and services by employees, and filing of false expense reports.
