Abstract

The special sensitivity hypothesis suggests that white-collar criminals suffer much more from incarceration than regular street criminals. In the following case study, we expand the hypothesis to life after prison, where one can assume that returning to normal life is difficult or almost impossible for white-collar offenders. Neutralization techniques imply that convicted offenders deny responsibility, deny harm, condemn condemners and apply other techniques to remove personal guilt feelings. The case of a convicted CEO in Norway is relevant and interesting, because the CEO made himself available for research, and because he seems very open-minded about his attitudes concerning personal problems and reflections concerning convicted white-collar offenders in general, where he makes a distinction between three categories of criminals. This research is important as white-collar offenders seldom make themselves available for research after release from prison
