Annotation
Various aspects of white collar crime, primarily criminal, are discussed in this book with an emphasis on Federal prosecutions. Other than the large number of drug prosecutions, white collar crime prosecutions constituted the largest category of crimes prosecuted by the United States Attorneys' Office. Furthermore, most principles applicable to Federal prosecutions can also be applied to State prosecutions.
