Overview
Examining a shocking array of fraud, corruption, theft, and embezzlement cases, this vivid collection reveals the practice of detecting, investigating, prosecuting, defending, and resolving white-collar crimes. Each chapter is a case study of an illustrative criminal case and draws on extensive public records around both obscure and high-profile crimes of the powerful, such as money laundering, mortgage fraud, public corruption, securities fraud, environmental crimes, and Ponzi schemes. Organized around a consistent analytic framework, each case tells a unique story and provides an engaging introduction to these complex crimes, while also introducing students to the practical aspects of investigation and prosecution of white-collar offenses. Jennifer C. Noble’s text takes students to the front lines of these vastly understudied crimes, preparing them for future practice and policy work.

Reviews
Overall, Noble's case-based text should provide students with an accessible, interesting, and well-structured entree into thinking about white-collar and financial crimes, and the complex legal processes that surround them. Her writing avoids specialized jargon, remains admirably objective, and is suitable for undergraduates in a range of social science disciplines, but especially criminal justice, criminology, sociology, legal studies or forensic studies. Her text fills a gap in bridging related disciplines that should more often speak to each other through thoughtful pedagogy. * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *
