Again, simple and encompassing categories do not suffice to inventory the range of white collar crime. Every day, new defaults of trust and new violations of belief are invented with which to exploit the organic solidarity essential to a division of labor in a complex, high-tech society. They bill for services not provided and for patients not existing. They bill for invented clinical entities and they bill for inflated regimes of therapy. Law and the Court.
Police sell out the trust implicit in their office by taking bribes from organized crime.
Judges seek sexual, economic or career advantage in dealing with the public and the trust placed in the office they hold. Judges reproduce the structures of racist, gender and class inequality in the kinds of evidence they hear, the kinds of motions they honor the kinds of judgements they make and the kind of sentences they hand out. In the CJS, the tort system, the military justice system, the private justice system as well as the administrative regulatory system, class, status and power distort the quest for criminal justice as for social justice. Law-makers too violate the public trust. Employees steal more from the stores and shops in which they hold position of trust than do all the thieves, shop-lifters, boosters and false billing con schemes put together.
