White Collar Crime Offences

White collar crime usually refers to a crime involving a business that is committed by an individual, whilst corporate crime usually refers to a corporation involved in illegal activity.

Although white collar offences are usually committed by an individual against a corporation or business, corporate crime is committed by a company against individuals in the company, investors, creditors, members of the general public, or governing bodies and agencies.
