About this book

In recent years, women's involvement in business is more frequent, leading to an interesting question: Does this increase in economic participation by women lead to an increased proportion of women committing white-collar crime?

Employing a variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical works to explain women's white-collar crimes from an international perspective, this new book helps to answer this question by extensively studying white collar crime, focusing on the disparity in such crimes between men and women. It also looks at how pink collar crime differs dramatically in different countries, with case studies from countries such as Norway, US, Iran, Denmark, and others to further enhance the understanding of the explained concepts.

The volume offers a specific focus on the convenience theory, an integrated theory created by Dr. Petter Gottschalk, one of the authors of this book, to explain general white-collar crime. With authors geographically located around the world, adding an international focus, and given the diverse participation of women in economic systems around the world, the volume also focuses on crimes of convenience in cybercrime by considering the importance of gender in the history of internet crime and the relationship between cybercrime and white-collar crime. The authors also suggest potential paths for future gender research on women in white-collar crime and convenience theory.
