Corporate and government corruption is the largest financial story of the year. Federal prosecutors are currently investigating Enron officials and Arthur Andersen accountants for white-collar crimes such as fraud, misrepresentation and obstruction of justice. There are also reports that corruption is the root cause of the economic collapse in Argentina and financial problems of countries throughout the world. Corruption is in the thoughts of everyone who has a retirement fund which holds stocks.
The term "white-collar crime" refers to the corrupt business practices of individuals in powerful positions, especially corporate leaders and government officials. Edwin Sutherland first coined the phrase during the 1939 annual meeting of the American Sociological Society.2 He argued that corporate and governmental officials regularly commit crimes that are as destructive to society as those of violent blue-collar criminals. This same concept is the root of federal white-collar crimes, as well as international anti-corruption initiatives.
This bibliography will introduce the major sources of information about white-collar crimes and anti-corruption efforts. Section I will discuss international conventions to fight corruption and selected federal white-collar crimes. Section II will discuss online and print resources for information about corruption and white-collar crime.
