white-collar, corporate/ organized crime
 

My boyfriend is writing a term paper on this topic, and has to do a presentation which should introduce some ideas for the paper.

He's working all day so I said I'd try to gather some info/ideas for him, and I figured this might be the place to go for some assistance.

I enjoy sociology, but it's not my major. If anyone has some stories or articles and other info, it would be greatly appreciated!!
(there might even be a little rep in there for ya!)

Thanks.

sorry I can't help, all I can think about is Office Space when they talk about federal ass-pounding prison.

What do you mean by white-collar, corporate/ organized crime?

Or google enron, and you will get a lot of info.

Well, I work at CitiGroup. You know, they run all of the Citibanks and CitiFinancials, plus care for the credit cards for tons of retailers such as Shell, Citgo, Sunoco, Sears, Home Depot, etc... Now I don't know of any REAL crime going on there, as far as embezzlement or anything of that nature. But trust me, crimes against employees happens on a regular basis...

all i can say is that corporate crime costs way more than street crime but largley goes unpunished and unoticed.

Surely that's because of the tax (thiat may sound stupid but...) they get from them?

The Merger by Jeffrey Robinson - the merging of international criminals requires corporate assistance to launder the huge funds of money - most of the big banks/financial houses are caught up in it. He's picked a huge topic, needs to narrow it down a bit!

tesla, do you make your living as a content writer?

or i think i found your doppelganger.

I'm not sure what you mean...I just obsessively read too much and too broadly...but I'm a prole for a major transnational, how do I get to be a content writer?! Do you mean those dopes who do pieces for MSN when you sign out of hotmail with titles like "8 Ways to Save your Family Money on Chunky Chicken" or "How To Dress For Your Second Date When You are Nervous" and other superbland stuff.

Here's testimony by a former CIA operative who quit because he was disgusted by what was going down:
"I noted that during the course of the previous assignment I had communicated to CIA Headquarters on multiple occasions that Narco-terrorists and murderers were involved with at least one hostile intelligence service to destabilize and overthrow the nation to which I was formerly assigned. During the course of that assignment I led efforts to thwart, on at least eight separate occasions, plans to bomb key host government facilities, to illegally seize the local parliament and plans to kidnap key local officials. During the course of these efforts I sought expanded authorities on six separate occasions
to block the destruction of democracy by these noted Narco-terrorists and a foreign intelligence service. CIA headquarters either did not respond, or responded without answering my specific requests. Finally I was called by my Washington D.C. supervisor and ordered to send no further requests to CIA’s seventh floor, which included the Chief of CIA’s Clandestine Service."

How could I not interpret the Cia response as policy-they WANT the narcoterroists to takeover. see waynemadsen.com for complere report...

Tell your boyfriend to come to México. All the goverment and the private industrie is a Corporate -Organized Crime.

Democracy sucks in México !!!

Mexico, China, Italy, Hungary - all mafia styled govts, and I assert the Bush family is creating the same kind of parallel crime syndicate/govt in the USA and with great sucess I must add because the population is so stupid. Look at the billions of dollars they looted from Iraq I mean "went missing". Americans say: What billions?
