Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas ... Resources This chapter outlines how the criminal justice system operates and describes the most serious criminal violations felonies and white collar crime. It also includes information about the rights of persons accused of crimes and the rights of crime victims. Domestic abuse and protective orders are covered in the Family Law Chapter. Criminal procedure is covered in the Process of a Lawsuit Chapter. Private causes of action that result from criminal conduct are covered in the Personal Injury Chapters. Finally, misdemeanors and driving-under-the-influence violations are covered in the Chapter. Criminal Codes Criminal law defines conduct that is prohibited by the government and the range of penalties that can be imposed for violating these prohibitions. Persons who violate criminal laws incur penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment or, in some states such as California, execution. All crimes are defined by statutes. These statutes are collected and organized into books of rules known as criminal or penal codes. In addition to the California Penal Code, which applies only in California, the federal government has a criminal code that regulates certain crimes nationwide. Most criminal activity violates either a state law or a federal law, not both; an important exception is drug crimes, which can be prosecuted in either state or federal court or both. Every crime is defined by a list of elements. In a criminal trial, the prosecutor attempts to prove all the elements of the crime the person is accused of committing. If all elements are proven, the judge or the jury finds the person guilty of the crime. Even for minor criminal violations, however, the accused may not be found guilty unless the jury or judge finds him or her guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Resources Criminal Law: White Collar Defense Business owners increasingly need to be aware of how they might run afoul of criminal laws in the operation of their businesses. Newspapers today are so full of reports of corporate criminal investigations and prosecutions that most business owners do not even realize that once business entities were thought to be incapable of committing crimes. Under the common law, corporations were considered artificial constructs without minds of their own, incapable of forming the intent necessary to be guilty of crimes. All this has changed. During the last two decades, the federal and state governments have increased the number of criminal investigations of businesses and the people who run them, partly in an effort to apply criminal laws evenhandedly. Commission and prosecution of white collar crimes are on the rise. High profile prosecutions of large corporations have caught the attention of the press and the public. Today, business owners and corporate executives should have a basic understanding of how criminal laws can impact their businesses. A myriad of regulatory laws can trip up even a conscientious business owner or manager. This chapter is designed to acquaint the reader with criminal statutes that most affect businesses and the steps businesses can take to avoid criminal liability.

White collar crime is a term that has been applied to a wide variety of non-violent crimes that are often committed in offices and boardrooms rather than on the street, by means of unlawful paper transactions rather than with weapons, by middle-class people rather than by career criminals. It includes the crime of fraud in its many - almost limitless - variations, as well as violations of government regulations that might not even result in immediate, ascertainable harm. The term refers to crimes committed by individuals, as well as wrongs inflicted by corporate entities (which are also subject to criminal prosecution). White collar crime is investigated and prosecuted by the federal and state governments. The following are just some of the offenses commonly referred to as "white collar" crimes.

FEATURE ARTICLE White-Collar Crime Project In California This article was contributed by Julie Pearl, J.D., Research Fellow, California Bureau of Justice Statistics. The term "white-collar crime" originated with sociologist Edwin Sutherland in the late 1930's. In the half century since then, scholars have debated over the definition of this category of crime. Confusion over the classification of white-collar crime has impeded progress in measuring and analyzing many crimes committed within business and government. In September 1987, the California Attorney General's Office and the University of California at Berkeley sponsored Symposium 87: White-Collar/Institutional CrimeIts Measurement and Analysis. Noted academicians and policymakers attended the two-day symposium, which consisted of three panels and a lively case discussion. The Proceedings of Symposium 87 have recently been published and are available by contacting Charlotte Rhea, Bureau of Criminal Statistics, P.O. Box 903427, Sacramento, California 94203; (916) 739-5166. Symposium attendees agreed that a structure must be developed for measuring the incidence and impact of white-collar offenses. As an initial step in building such a structure, the California Bureau of Criminal Statistics (SAC) began the White-Collar Crime Classification Project. The preliminary results of this project are presented below, and a final report will be released in June.

This time, he is one of the good guys. As a 10th grader, Mr. Minkow launched a neighborhood carpet-cleaning business in Reseda, Calif., that grew into a $300 million public company and Wall Street's infamy: ZZZZ Best Co. That business was a fraud. Mr. Minkow conned his way through lenders, lawyers, auditors and investment bankers for five years, falsifying some 22,000 documents along the way. After the company disintegrated in 1987, he was sentenced to a 25-year prison term, of which he served more than seven years, one of the longest terms served by a white-collar criminal. Today, the 37-year-old Mr. Minkow is again deep into the world of fraud. A number of government agencies including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the San Diego U.S. Attorney's office, the Los Angeles Better Business Bureau and even the Securities and Exchange Commission, which originally prosecuted his crimes couldn't be happier. Instead of swindling investors, Mr. Minkow is helping regulators, investigators and prosecutors unravel and understand the sorts of fraud he once orchestrated. To some, Mr. Minkow is far from a white knight. Some investors are still out millions from the ZZZZ Best fraud. And some critics say the cases in which he has assisted regulators are small and that he couldn't be very helpful in working through more sophisticated financial skullduggery.

Police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena confirmed that some banks, stung by frauds, were deliberating covering up the vice for fear of igniting a run on deposits.

White Collar Criminal Defense Our clients are companies, firms, and individuals involved in governmental investigations and litigations brought to enforce criminal, civil, or administrative laws and regulations. We represent clients in federal and state courts, in matters brought by U.S. Attorneys Offices, the Department of Justice, and state attorneys' general offices, and before federal and state governmental agencies. We have particular experience in cases such as business and financial fraud; international crime; defense procurement fraud; public corruption; healthcare, securities, and tax fraud; and antitrust, environmental, and RICO crimes. At both federal and state levels, we represent clients in grand jury investigations and defend them against indictments. Clients also engage our services when they face the prospect of enforcement action by federal or state administrative agencies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission. In addition, we defend professionals in licensing and disciplinary proceedings. Our group also conducts internal investigations and audits for companies and firms to promote compliance with laws and regulations and to identify any illegal conduct. In the event a client is ever prosecuted and convicted, these preventive measures can substantially reduce the severity of any sentence imposed under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Such an internal compliance program also minimizes the risk that an organization will be deemed culpable for the criminal conduct of its employees because it has been "willfully blind" to the violations. Today, a corporation can be found guilty, even when no one employee, acting alone, has committed a crime.

WHITE COLLAR CRIMINAL DEFENSE Criminal Investigations An individual or entity may come under criminal investigation by the IRS or FBI. The agent conducting a criminal financial investigation is a Special Agent assigned to the IRS' Criminal Investigation Division. The purpose of the investigation is to charge the taxpayer with a crime, be found guilty, go to jail and pay a fine. Civil penalties and additional tax will be sought by the IRS after the criminal investigation has concluded. TIP: Do not make any statements to the Special Agent. You have the right to remain silent, pursuant to the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Simply advise the agent you will retain an attorney, who will contact the agent. Sometimes the Criminal Investigator indicates that the case will go "faster" and easier if you cooperate. However, having the case proceed "faster" and smoother are not always in your best interest, to say the least. You may cooperate but it should be through a competent attorney knowledgeable in handling IRS Criminal Investigations. The firm also represents individuals and businesses in grand jury investigations. Such representation may be on behalf of the target, a witness, or a custodian of records. There may be many rights and privileges available to the recipient of the subpoena. We have been successful in quashing subpoenas to corporations based on the alter ego theory, even though a corporation ordinarily is not entitled to the constitutional rights available to individuals.
