White-collar crimes, coined by Edwin Sutherland in 1939, are "committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." These deceptive actions are often committed for business or financial reasons. Recently, white-collar crimes have also been closely linked to crimes of government officials. In the modern age that we have, these crimes have also evolved into more modern variations including mail fraud, copyright violations, and telemarketing fraud.
