Explain why white-collar crimes are lucrative.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. White-collar crimes are lucrative because most offenders are not caught. According to one estimate, there is only one FBI investigator per almost 4,000 financial services sales agents, personal financial advisers, and financial analysts. Thus, the odds of being arrested are very small. Even when white-collar criminals are arrested and convicted, few are incarcerated. Of the almost 3,800 suspected embezzlers, for example, only 14 percent have been arrested and sentenced; of those arrested and sentenced, only 7 percent served any prison time(Motivans, 2013).
