“…Traditional criminological theories that receive the bulk of criminological attention include theories such as deterrence theory, learning theory, neutralization theory, strain theory, and self-control theory. While a few criminologists have promoted systems theory as a way to understand crime (Gottschalk & Hamerton, 2022;Payne, 2022;Robinson, 2014), these efforts pale in comparison to the number of times traditional theories are used to study, understand, and explain crime, much less cybercrime or white-collar crime. The absence of systems theory discussions in the white-collar crime and cybercrime literature likely foster inattention to the interconnections between societal systems and crime.…”

Few studies have considered the impact of technology on white-collar crime. This study examines the use of technology in white-collar cybercrimes and compares them to other varieties of white-collar crime using a sample of convicted offenders from Utah’s white-collar criminal registry. The results show that white-collar crimes that were not committed through computer technology were more likely to be incidents such as securities fraud while the white-collar cybercrimes were more likely to be committed by younger offenders and target small businesses and business owners. In addition, few of the white-collar cybercrimes involved the more serious types of cybercrimes (data breaches/hacking, etc.) identified by cyber criminologists. Consistent with past research, the level of technical skills needed among white-collar cybercriminals appeared minimal.
