This study identify current research perspectives on white-collar and
corporate crime convenience; an important emergent area of research.
It applies the theory of convenience to research articles on
white-collar and corporate crime, recently published in the most
relevant journals addressing economic crime. This kind of white-collar
corporate crime is often committed by persons of respectability and
high social status, who commit financial crime based on their trusted
professional positions with high social status. While convenience
theory covers fourteen convenience propositions, there is varying
attention to them in the reviewed articles. For example, a frequent
topic analysed in the journal articles is online romance fraud, where
victims were not on guard because they trusted their offenders. Trust
tends to strengthen the convenience proposition addressing lack of
guardianship, oversight, and control. The book adds substance to the
theory of convenience that emerged less than a decade ago, and has
since been developing and applied by various scholars. The review is
also interesting from the perspective of understanding what aspects of
crime convenience are implicitly and explicitly addressed in economic
criminology research; that is whether motives, opportunities, or
attitudes are mainly addressed in financial crime research so far. The
second part of the book presents several short case studies on topics
including fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering. The final part of
the book discusses gender convenience perspectives, and the emerging
issues around digital fraud.
