Topic: white-collar crime, preferably of the organizational variety.

Order Description
The primary objective of your analytical case study is to provide a detailed description and account of an instance of white-collar crime, preferably of the organizational variety. You can select a famous case (e.g. Ford Pinto, Watergate) or a lesser known instance of white-collar crime. The readings and learning modules are filled with hundreds of examples of the phenomenon, so if you are having difficulty finding an interesting and appropriate case, make sure to thoroughly consult your textbook and module readings for ideas. Your paper should be organized in the following manner: Introduction, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Conclusion, and References. Please include these headings (i.e., Introduction, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Conclusion, and References) and your appropriate answers to each within your research paper. It is suggested to also include any other headings that may be applicable for your selected case study.

•Introduction: Introduce your topic, explain why it is an important event or phenomenon to analyze as a case study (about 1 page or less in length).
•Part 1: Describe the crime, event, and/or harm. Who is the offender(s)? Who are the victimized? (about 2 pages in length)
•Part 2: Why is the event defined as a crime? What laws, norms, and/or standards were violated? Was there any legal action taken against the offending parties? If so, what? (about 2 pages in length)
•Part 3: Theoretically interpret the case. Using at least two criminological theories, explain why the crime occurred. Try to explain how the case can be rendered more understandable through specific theories (about 2 pages in length).
•Part 4: How can crimes like these be controlled? Identify both specific and general changes that could reduce the likelihood of the recurrence of this and similar crimes (about 2 pages in length).
•Conclusion: Draw conclusions about your analytical case study. Provide a brief summary of the importance of your case study analysis. Where appropriate, make broader suggestions for future research, general public or societal impact, policy/law implications, etc. (about 1 page or less in length)
