Controlling Models of the White Collar Crime

Abstract

The study of the White Collar crime constitutes, undoubtedly, one of the most interesting and conflictuous chapters of the contemporary criminology. The growing economic criminality in Brazil and in the world and the considerable impotence of the state organisms, means and instruments of the public administration in charge of its prevention and repression have lead us to propose the topic for the controlling models of the white collar crime. Considering the importance of this topic for the Economic Criminal Law, as well as the preoccupation of the current legislators to this kind of criminality, the present study aims to analyze the forms of control. Emphasizing from now on that such controlling models should work in a transparent and adequate way, thus avoiding abuse of power. Based on that it is also possible to establish a position in respect to the appropriate, adequate and efficacious penalty to the white collar offender. Would the custodial penalty be effective for the economic crime? Keywords: White collar crime – Economic crime – Criminology – Controlling Models – Resocialization – Custodial Penalty
