White Collar and Financial Crimes: A Casebook of Fraudsters, Scam Artists, and Corporate Thieves

by Jennifer C. Noble

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.

Excellent and informative. Found this very easy to read and the cases that are examined were fascinating.

An incredibly informative and thought-provoking read, one which I am actually happy to have purchased and completely read for a class. I can see myself revisiting this text in the future, both for academic reference and casual enjoyment. Both this text and the class associated with it gave me a lot of insight into the criminal side of law that I hadn't previously considered. Normally I wouldn't review/rate textbooks but this felt more like a collection of case studies than a traditional textbook, and my thorough enjoyment of it warrants a rating.
