Within minutes it consumed the building's upper 3 stories. Firemen were unable to rescue those trapped inside: their ladders weren't tall enough. People watched in horror as workers jumped to their death. The final toll was 146 people 123 of them women. It follows the waves of Jewish and Italian immigration that inundated New York in the early years of the century, supplying garment factories with cheap, mostly female labor.

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."

It has one foot in conventionality and one foot in deviance. Most of us hold the conception that “crime” is what street people, or at least poor people, do.

Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Sunday, June 2, 2002 in the New York Times Downturn and Shift in Population Feed Boom in White-Collar Crime by Stephen Labaton Even as the rate of murder, robbery, assault and other types of violent and property crimes has declined or flattened in the last decade, there has been a marked increase in accounting and corporate infractions, fraud in health care, government procurement and bankruptcy, identity theft, illegal corporate espionage and intellectual property piracy, federal and state officials say. With increasing frequency, white-collar corruption seems to be the crime of choice of the baby boom generation. A week does not go by without news of investigations of blue-chip and start-up companies, the most prominent recently include Adelphia, Enron, Global Crossing, Kmart, Qwest Communications International, Schering-Plough, WorldCom and Xerox. Many of those companies' accounting firms are also facing intense scrutiny, perhaps most notably Arthur Andersen, which is in the middle of a criminal trial in Houston. Corporate corruption cases are inevitable during the trough of the boom-bust economic cycle, when disgruntled investors and company whistle-blowers work with prosecutors and the support of an outraged public to unveil the excesses of market euphoria. The phenomenon last occurred during the savings and loan crisis a decade ago, but it also happened after a wave of corporate scandals in the 1970's, and to a lesser extent during the Great Depression.

Facts and Figures 2003 White-Collar Crime White-collar crimes are categorized by deceit, concealment, or violation of trust and are not dependent on the application or threat of physical force or violence. Such acts are committed by individuals and organizations to obtain money, property, or services, to avoid the payment or loss of money or services, or to secure a personal or business advantage. In March 2000, the FBI started undercover operation CYBERSTORM to find and prosecute individuals and groups involved in making and selling counterfeit software and illegally re-marking computer central processing units (CPUs). Several cooperative witnesses told investigators that some individuals and companies in San Jose, California, were engaged in the illegal remarking and brokering of CPUs and the manufacture and sale of counterfeit computer software. Based on this information, as well as findings from a preliminary FBI investigation, numerous individuals and companies were identified as being involved in the production and distribution of re-marked CPUs and counterfeit software. An undercover Agent started and ran a phony business engaged in the buying and selling of gray market CPUs and computer software. In order to be accepted by the computer industry, the Agent routinely purchased counterfeit products and sold legitimate computer components to targeted companies.

Courts are giving further definition to a duty of "good faith," and directors who violate this duty may lose their rights to indemnification by the corporation and the benefit of corporate charter provisions that limit director liability. This article reviews briefly the increased scrutiny being applied by courts, including the recent emphasis on the good faith duty, and suggests ways for directors to protect themselves.
