Abstract

The organizational dimension sets white-collar criminals apart from other financial criminals. Abusing social security benefits, committing tax evasion, or committing Internet fraud on a personal level is not considered white-collar crime. White-collar crime is defined as financial crime committed in a professional capability in an organizational context. While possibilities in the economical dimension are concerned with convenient abilities for the achievement of goals (avoid threats and gain benefits such as real estate and foreign establishment), opportunities in the organizational dimension revolve around how crime can be committed conveniently. The economical dimension answers the why, while the organizational dimension answers the how of white-collar crime. We distinguish between the economic ability to realize wishes, meet needs, and fulfill desires, and professional opportunity to implement white-collar crime in connection with regular business activities.
