English Abstract: White collar criminals... Al Capone called them "legitimate criminals” in contrast to those who were more known
underworld and were called "violent criminals.” White collar” criminals commit acts which were defined by Sutherland as a violation of
criminal law by people with high socio-economic status as part of their occupational class.White collar crimes in criminology vision are
professional offenses committed by persons occupying high social and economic position and they consist in crimes committed by
representatives of higher socio-economic institutions. Although white collar crime category to be assigned and offenses committed by
civil servants and officials, however, first of all, this crime is manifested by economic crimes. Whichever category they fall, white collar
crimes are harder to identify than other types of crime and therefore are less punished. Since most of these crimes are committed by
persons with important official positions which have a privileged social position that allows manipulation of the law, they manage to
avoid the vast majority of legal sanctions. Nowadays it is difficult to believe that these efforts to impose the law to the white-collar
criminals, could be stopped. This is because the public contribution has increased lately and it is likely that obstacles law enforcement
not to have in the near future support they received so far.
