white-collar crime
- Chapter 4
Retail crime entails the unethical and illogical practices that organizations engage in against vulnerable people in the bid of promoting personal interest. Retail crime is promoted by factors including high levels of trust that the various professionals enjoy from people they serve. The prestige enjoyed by the individuals in the various levels also protects them from legal consequences promoting the crimes. Factors that inhibit crimes include the loyalty that employees have towards those they serve and the job satisfaction that they receive from their work. Crimes of the organizations that provide services are more in comparison to those that sell products. While there are more measures to check products, there are minimal ways that could be used to check service provision.

The more compelling explanation of the origin of the political white-collar crime is the system based perspective. White-collar crimes rely more on the failure of the systems in comparison to the failure of a few individuals. With the lack of proper systems in place, there is the inability to punish such crimes. If systems were functional, it would be easy to punish a few people involved in the crimes and consequently limit them. The reduction of political white-collar crimes would be through the formulation and strengthening of systems and legislations to handle the crimes. There should be elaborate systems that deal with the various crimes and ensure that effective punishment if provided for them. The best way for the punishment of political white-collar crimes would be similar punishment as capital offenses as a measure of limiting criminal activities.

The responsibility for crimes of globalization crime should be determined through the way of their intensity and the means through which they affect the international system. The responsibility for these crimes should be punished through the provision of reputations that would make the various organs that commit the crimes pay for the losses caused and compensate the affected in equal measures. Among the crimes that I would not define as globalization crimes include the insurance industry fraud. The view is as the insurance agencies are not global entities. Private corporations run most of them. The insurance industry fraud would fall under the category of retail crime as the crimes privately involve the organizations and their clients.
