This article takes a look at what the author admits is an under-researched area of sociology, namely women and white-collar crime. As Janice Goldstraw-White points out, this type of crime is not readily associated with women, though it is possible that as more women achieve positions of importance and seniority in companies, where the opportunities for crimes such as fraud are greater, this may change.
This research is based on primary data, as the author conducted face-to-face interviews in prison with men and women convicted of white-collar crimes. While the findings are useful and interesting, it is important to bear in mind, as the author points out, that they are based on a small sample.
