BIG DIRTY MONEY The Shocking Injustice and Unseen Cost of White Collar Crime by Jennifer Taub
b'
White collar crime is running rampant in the United States, and it\\u2019s costing Americans an untold amount of money. White
\\ncollar crimes like fraud and embezzlement rob victims anywhere from $300 billion to $800 billion annually, while street
\\nlevel crimes like burglary and theft cost about $16 billion a year, according to the FBI. But despite this eye-opening statistic,
\\nthe true extent of white collar crime is largely unknown: the federal government doesn\\u2019t have a database of these criminals,
\\na method of tracking the rates of these types of crime, or even annual statistics. In BIG DIRTY MONEY: The Shocking
\\nInjustice and Unseen Cost of White Collar Crime (Viking) legal scholar Jennifer Taub takes a deep dive into white collar crime, its history, and reveals why these offenders seem to get off scot-free now more than ever, at great cost to the general public.
