“…There are multiple definitions that would explain the nature and significance of corporate crimes in the views of different scholars. For instance, John Braithwaite, an Australian criminologist, defined corporate crime as, "the conduct of corporations or employees acting on behalf of a corporation, which is prescribed and punishable by law (Kawasaki, 2019)." On the other hand, criminologist Edwin Sutherland in 1939 defined corporate crime as a crime "committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation."…”

Corporate crime is a non-violence crime, where the main motive can be identified to be associated with financial gain. Corporate crime can also be recognised as organisational crime, is a type of white-collar crime that is specifically committed by individuals within their respective legitimate occupations, with regard to the benefit of their employing corporations. These individuals however do not consider themselves as criminals and their activities to be criminal activities. It is also to be taken into consideration that corporate crimes are not new to this society. Corporate crimes could be categorised in a variety of forms given their nature and scope. In India, the laws governing corporate crime have long been in discussion. However, given the continuous development in technology, it is suspected that the legislative bodies are required to further research on the topic in order to develop the rules and regulations governing the given offence in order to align the governing regulations with the changing forms of corporate crimes. The primary focus of this article is to critically analyse the factors associated with corporate crime in the society by taking into consideration the Indian perspective on the same.

“…It is mainly the convenience of extra profit, rather than the convenience of illegal profit, that is important in the motive dimension of convenience theory. However, under certain circumstances, there might be some extra benefits from illegal extra profit rather than extra profit in general, since illegal funds avoid the attention of external and internal control mechanisms, including compliance functions (Kawasaki 2020). Illegitimate financial gain can thus find its ways into exploring possibilities and avoiding threats that recorded funds cannot.…”

This paper presents the integrated theory of convenience with its dimensions and structural model. Convenience statements derive from the structural model. The research suggests that offenders will find crime more convenient than non-offenders will. One hundred and eleven business students were either potential offenders or non-offenders based on their responses in survey research. Business students who found it understandable that top executives and others in privileged positions commit white-collar crime are likely offenders, while students who did not find it understandable are likely non-offenders. The empirical test illustrates that assumed offenders find more motive convenience, opportunity convenience, as well as behavioral convenience by crime when compared to assumed non-offenders.

“…In addition, technological advances have exacerbated this issue by allowing the quick proliferation of financial transactions and fraudulent schemes via the Internet. Given the universality of white-collar crime, comparative study is essential for understanding this type of offending in globalized context (Kawasaki, 2019).…”

White-collar criminality continues to be a significant issue in countries with differing levels of economic development. This paper provides a comparative analysis of white-collar crime and crises through an examination of the recent peer-to-peer (P2P) online lending crash in China. It considers criminological findings from major United States crises in light of China’s P2P online lending market failure through the lens of white-collar crime theory and research. The findings show that fraud was a main contributor to the P2P online lending crash and that various structural factors facilitated financial crimes that caused the collapse of the P2P online lending market. This study indicates that, similar to the U.S. experience, crime-facilitative environments allowed for endemic fraud in China’s online lending industry. It suggests that a primarily reactive approach to financial crime is less effective than a proactive system of compliance that includes more comprehensive and transparent financial regulation and law enforcement.
