Technology and White-Collar Crime

Advances in technology not only
benefit law-abiding citizens of the world, they also benefit those with
criminal intent. The speed at which technology expands and improves is the same
speed at which criminals can create more efficient ways of committing
traditional forms of white-collar crime. In addition, new types of white-collar
crimes are being spawned by the Internet, such as the use of “worms”
or “viruses” to commit Internet fraud. With a wealth of personal and
financial information available via technology, white-collar crimes that
utilize technology can have devastating effects on victims.

In an attempt to prevent and address
white-collar crimes, law enforcement agencies can use technologies, such as
enhanced means of surveillance. This surveillance can include monitoring social
media conversations to uncover insider trading, corporate espionage,
embezzlement, and other white-collar criminal activities. In addition, new
information systems technology tools like data mining can be used to analyze
and interpret vast quantities of data to uncover indications of white-collar
criminal behavior.
