Synopsis

**White-Collar Crimes and Society: A Comprehensive Examination of the Causes, Consequences, and Solutions to a Growing Problem**

White-collar crime is a pervasive and growing problem that costs the United States trillions of dollars each year. This staggering figure represents not only financial losses but also the erosion of trust in our institutions and the undermining of our economy.

In this comprehensive and thought-provoking book, we delve into the world of white-collar crime, exploring its history, evolution, and current manifestations. We examine the psychology of white-collar criminals and the factors that contribute to their behavior. We also discuss the challenges of detecting and prosecuting white-collar crime, as well as the need for effective prevention and remediation strategies.

Through a series of case studies, we explore some of the most notorious white-collar crimes in recent history, including the Enron scandal, the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme, and the Volkswagen emissions scandal. We examine the impact of these crimes on individuals, businesses, and the economy as a whole, shedding light on the devastating consequences of white-collar crime.

Our goal is to provide readers with a deeper understanding of this complex and multifaceted issue. By doing so, we hope to contribute to the development of more effective strategies for preventing and combating white-collar crime.

This book is essential reading for anyone interested in white-collar crime, including law enforcement officers, policymakers, business leaders, and concerned citizens. It is also a valuable resource for students and scholars studying criminology, business ethics, and public policy.

* A comprehensive overview of white-collar crime, from its history and evolution to its current manifestations

    In this great deal, you’ll get 2 books for a lower price. 
    Book 1: Love, money, health, and happiness. We all want them, but we don’t all have them. Partially, we cannot be blamed for everything that happens to us. But there is also a part that is our own responsibility. Through understanding how the law of attraction can help you receive these things, you will definitely increase your chances to getting what you dream of. 
    This book helps you relieve stress, cite affirmations that can boost your confidence in your goals, become more attractive to the opposite sex, or get out of a rut when you’re at an all-time low in your life. 
    Book 2: How can you become a literal magnet of wealth and passively enjoy the wealth you have accumulated? 
    Well, it’s not always but for most of us, It’s possible. Instead of going into specifics of various businesses, this book deals with the basic mindset you need to attract wealth and think on a higher level. It covers saving up, investing, and discovering your course in life, so that you can do what you are passionate about. 
    Just having money, though, doesn’t free us from mental issues. So, to top it all off, one entire chapter is devoted to dealing with the stress factors in your life through mindfulness and meditation. These two terms are often interrelated because they make you more aware of your surroundings instead of bottling all your problems and frustrations up inside of you.

    The truth about the bloody battles fought to establish a nation 
     
    For the first time, The Australian Wars brings what for too long has been considered the historical past into connection with its reverberations in the present. 
     
    It is estimated up to 100,000 people died in the frontier wars that raged across Australia for more than 150 years. This is equivalent to the combined total of all Australians killed in foreign battles to date. But there are few memorials marking these first, domestic wars. 
     
    The Australian Wars was conceived by Rachel Perkins following her award-winning documentary series produced by Blackfella Films for SBS and edited along with Stephen Gapps, Mina Murray and Henry Reynolds. This is the first book to tell the story of the continental sweep of massacres, guerilla warfare, resistance and the contests of firearms and traditional Aboriginal weaponry as Indigenous nations resisted colonial occupation of their lands, territory by territory. At stake was the sovereignty of an entire country. 
     
    Black and white writers tell the stories of these battles across three crucial time periods, and all the states and territories. It notes the lands that were unconquered, as well as the role of disease, weapons and tactics, and the story of women on the frontier. 
     
    This history is still alive in those descendants who carry the stories of their ancestors. The Australian Wars brings what for too long has been considered the historical past into the present so that we might know the truth of the origins of this nation. 
     
     
    'As it peels back the enduring veils of silence and denial about our shared past, The Australian Wars exposes a complex legacy of shame, pride, crime and valour. It offers us an opportunity to ask ourselves, in a spirit of humility and honesty, what it truly means to be an Australian patriot. The authors of this work have delivered a huge favour wrapped in a hard lesson.' TIM WINTON 
     
     
    'An inspiring, game-changing work of collective truth-telling about our shared history.' KATE GRENVILLE 
     
     
    ‘Rachel Perkins and her fellow editors have done us all a great service in bringing this history together.' DAVID KEMP AC 
     
     
    'Together with the TV series The Australian Wars puts down a marker: no more denial, no more cant. These wars happened and we cannot blink them away.' DON WATSON 
     
     
    'This book has the best of contemporary research. It will ensure that the original people of this nation are not denied the dignity of their resistance and the truth telling has the edge it should.' KIM BEAZLEY 
     
     
    'A compelling call to truth-telling and national reckoning. Essential reading for all Australians.' THE HON KEN WYATT AC
