Edwin H Sutherland defined white-collar crime as "a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation". To him‚ many criminologists fail to recognize that the secretive violations of public and corporate trust by those in positions of authority are just as criminal as predatory acts committed by people of lower social standing (today). White-collar criminals are less likely to be investigated or arrested than the average common criminal‚ primarily

The crime myth that I wish to dispel in this essay is associated with violence of women in the street.

This is not the case when dealing
