‘Myths and Misunderstandings in White-Collar Crime’

October 31, 2023

Miriam H. Baer of Brooklyn Law School has authored Myths and Misunderstandings in White-Collar Crime, a book discussing public response to white-collar crime and how that response affects lawmaking and enforcement.

From the book’s description:

Myths and Misunderstandings in White-Collar Crime uses real-world examples to explore the pathologies that hamper our ability to understand and redress white-collar crime. The book argues that misinterpretations about federal white-collar crime impede its lawmaking, enforcement, and discourse, leading it to be overcriminalized and underenforced. Many of these pathologies can be traced to the federal code's failure to subdivide white-collar crimes by degrees of severity, and by the legislature's outsourcing of criminal lawmaking to other institutions. With deep knowledge of the federal code and theories of institutional design and behavioral psychology at her disposal, Miriam Baer offers a step-by-step framework for redressing these problems by paying greater attention to how we write, frame, and lay out our federal criminal code. A clearer, subdivided criminal code, she argues, paves the way for more informed and productive deliberation, and fewer myths and misunderstandings.

Myths and Misunderstandings in White Collar Crime will be featured in an upcoming episode of Andrew Jennings’ Business Scholarship Podcast. Brooklyn Law School recently hosted a book talk to discuss Baer’s book with Samuel W. Buell of Duke University School of Law as a discussant.
