“…First, in his empirical work, Sutherland subsumed under his white-collar crime concept a whole range of behaviors that did not violate criminal law statutes but rather included breaches of regulatory and administrative law or that resulted in adverse civil decisions. In doing so, Sutherland’s introduction of the white-collar crime concept posed a challenge not only to criminological theory, but to the very concept of crime [Minkes and Minkes 2008]. Second, Sutherland’s definition indicated that the respectability and high social status of its perpetrators should be regarded as a defining characteristic of white-collar crime.…”

“…A second group of scholars, mostly trained in the social sciences, has followed Sutherland’s lead and has largely rejected Tappan’s concerns [e.g., Coleman 2006; Geis 1992; Gerber and Jensen 2007; Minkes and Minkes 2008]. Central to the argument of these scholars is the claim that the issue of white-collar crime cannot be studied separately from the distribution of power in society.…”

“…Central to the argument of these scholars is the claim that the issue of white-collar crime cannot be studied separately from the distribution of power in society. Minkes and Minkes [2008], for example, maintain that Tappan’s opposition to the inclusion of noncriminal offenses under the white-collar crime label is meaningful only if one is dealing with the operation of the law as it stands; “it ignores the role of power in forming the law and determining, for example, which forms of wrongdoing will be the subject of criminal prosecution and which will be subject instead to administrative and civil sanctions” [ibid. : 11].…”

Despite the ubiquity of illegality in today’s financial markets and the questions this raises with regard to the social legitimacy of today’s financial industry, systematic scrutiny of the phenomenon of financial crime is lacking in the field of sociology. One field of research in which the illegal dimensions of capitalist dynamics have long taken center stage is the field of white-collar crime research. This article makes available to economic sociologists an overview of the most important conceptual insights generated in the white-collar crime literature. In doing so, its aim is to provide economic sociologists with some orientation for future research on financial crime. Building on the insights generated in wcc literature, the article concludes by suggesting a number of promising avenues for future sociological research on the phenomenon of illegality in financial markets.

Purpose -The purpose of this investigation is to look at four organisations to see whether they meet the criteria of learning communities. Two are involved with higher education, one is an army unit, and the fourth is an organisation responsible for aviation safety. Design/methodology/approach -The research was based on qualitative analyses of what made the four organisations learning communities. This comprised interviews with key personnel and responding to a 15-item questionnaire. Findings -In the Australian example, specialised areas of responsibility were established to facilitate change. In the Indonesian example, a colonial past, a political/cultural divide, a feudalistic approach to modern day problems and a rich tradition presented a challenge to innovation. In the army unit, highly specialised knowledge had to be acquired, adapted and applied. In the aviation safety organisation, technological issues specifying flight operations were the main focus. This organisation was akin to both a learning organisation and an innovative knowledge community, although working within a bureaucratic structure. Research limitations/implications -One limitation was access to personnel such as CEOs. Another was translating the questionnaire into Indonesian. A third was related to confidentiality, i.e. should participants reveal the identity of their parent organisation, and their own? Practical implications -The study identified the need to re-define strategic objectives. Organisations must undertake this task when faced with changing circumstances. Originality/value -The paper has value because it looks at effective, learning communities and the formal and the informal learning process.
