EXISTING LEGAL PROVISIONS TO DEAL WITH WHITE COLLAR CRIMES IN INDIA- Mahi Bhan

ABSTRACT

White collar crime, a multifaceted and elusive form of deviance, has garnered increased attention in contemporary society due to its far-reaching implications on economic stability, social trust, and institutional integrity. This abstract aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the dynamics, motivations, and consequences of white collar crime, drawing from interdisciplinary perspectives in criminology, sociology, psychology, and economics. The term “white collar crime” encompasses a diverse range of non-violent, financially motivated offenses committed by individuals or organizations in positions of trust and authority within legitimate institutions. These offenses include fraud, embezzlement, insider trading, bribery, and cybercrime, among others. Unlike traditional street crime, white collar crime often occurs within the confines of corporate boardrooms, financial institutions, and government agencies, posing unique challenges for detection, prosecution, and deterrence.
