White-Collar Crime: An Opportunity Perspective delves into the realm of white-collar crime by employing the opportunity perspective, which posits that all crimes stem from offenders recognizing potential opportunities to engage in criminal behavior. The authors elucidate the processes and contextual factors that foster opportunities for white-collar crimes, as well as the likelihood of becoming a victim of such offenses. Furthermore, they propose practical policy solutions aimed at mitigating this persistent and pervasive social problem, while maintaining a realistic and balanced approach to addressing the challenges of control. In this fourth edition, Benson and Simpson have collaborated with two emerging scholars in the field of white-collar crime, Jay P. Kennedy and Melissa Rorie, who bring fresh perspectives and expertise to the book, enhancing its analytical depth and comprehensive coverage of both white-collar crime and the opportunity perspective.
