Sinopse

White Collar Crime explores the hidden world of financial offenses, revealing how crimes like securities fraud, embezzlement, and corporate misconduct undermine trust and destabilize financial systems. The book uniquely highlights the systemic nature of these crimes, going beyond individual perpetrators to examine the institutional failures that allow them to flourish. One intriguing fact is that the cumulative financial impact of white-collar crime often exceeds that of violent crimes, yet it receives less attention. Another is the way seemingly innocuous accounting practices can be manipulated to devastating effect. The book takes a comprehensive approach, presenting in plain English an accessible overview of financial systems and offering real case studies, legal analysis, and interviews with prosecutors and victims.

 
It's structured in three parts that guide the reader from foundational concepts to specific case analyses, and ultimately to understanding the consequences and potential solutions. The goal is to provide investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the hidden dangers of the financial world with a deeper understanding of the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to this pervasive problem, emphasizing the importance of corporate governance and ethical leadership.

    The Alice Crimmins Case

    New York, Summer of 1965. 
     
     
     
    One hot summer, two young children disappeared from their first-floor apartment in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens, New York. Their mother, Alice Crimmins, reported them missing to the police. Later that day, the body of four-year-old Missy was found in a vacant lot, showing signs of having been strangled. The body of five-year-old Eddie, Jr., was found several days later. 
     
     
     
    Police were immediately suspicious of the mother. Recently divorced, with teased red hair and heavy makeup, Alice Crimmins did not fit the maternal ideal held by the predominantly Catholic police detectives on the case. Her every action was scrutinized: Was she behaving like a grief-stricken mother or like a coldhearted killer? After three years of police surveillance, Alice was charged with the murder of her children in 1968 in a highly publicized trial. Ultimately found guilty of manslaughter, Alice spent a decade in prison before being released on parole in 1977. 
     
     
     
    But was she truly guilty, or just the victim of police bias and misogynistic judgment? Journalist Anaïs Renevier revisits the case, exploring one of the most famous and divisive trials in recent American history.

    John Walker was a Miami undercover narcotics agent in the 1970s. Ten years later, he was in prison for smuggling 12,000 pounds of marijuana. In prison, he connected with a South American drug lord who was still running the family operation from inside the federal pen. Within months of being paroled, John began smuggling again—this time uncut Colombian cocaine. And this time, he put everything on the line: his freedom, his family and, ultimately, his life. 
     
     
     
    Breaking Midnight: A True Story shines a light on the gritty underbelly of Miami drug trafficking and the dangers of leading a double life—as an undercover narc or a smuggler. Written by Lynn Walker based on numerous interviews with her father, John, this is an uncensored, up-close-and-personal account of how a good cop goes bad.
