UNMASKING THE White-Collar CRIMINAL - Gerald R Flurry - July 1971

Gerald R Flurry

It is crimes of violence - murder, armed robbery, burglary that people most fear. But the crime of the respected white-collar criminal goes practically unrecorded in news headlines. This is the crime that reveals how national character has broken down. People commit crimes within the range of their opportunity. Bankers rarely rob banks. But bankers have embezzled bank funds. An armed robber would steal from a bank by violence. A banker or accountant would do it by intrigue. But one is as much a crime as the other. And escalating white-collar crime reveals social corrosion even more than crimes of violence. It is a yardstick of personal integrity - a thermometer of national moral fibre. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
