Distinguished contributors readily seize opportunities to present significant and informative discussions throughout the carefully constructed passages.

Notable citations incorporated after each entry entice readers to further investigation....The Encyclopedia of White Collar Crime represents an excellent contribution to libraries in the United States....The content would serve as an excellent reference for the advanced study of white collar crime. —American Reference Books Annual
-An interesting and absorbing look at the historical, economic and social aspects of white-collar crime. —Reference Reviews
-This alphabetical encyclopedia contains terms relating to white- collar crime, a not-often academically studied topic. Gerber and Jensen select topics based on the tradition of Edwin Sutherland, who invented the term and officially defined the field; they focus on corporate and organizational crime over occupational, as well as contemporary and historical cases, societies in North America, Europe, and Asia, and theoretical explanations. Examples of entries: Ponzi Scheme, Enron, Exxon Valdez , identity theft, the cruise line industry, OSHA, Michael Milken, junk bonds, insider trading, Jimmy Swaggart, Lee Iacocca, and price fixing. —Reference & Research Book News
