- In 1988, Donald Cressey published a previously overlooked article. According to Cressey, therewas a lack in the agenda of corporate crime research concerning theory and conceptual precision of whatexactly the scientific object was and how it could reinforce the understanding of white-collar criminality.Cressey stated the idea that afictitious person, such as a corporation, upon which were bestowed propertiessuch as a will of its own (intentions and motivations) and a consciousness to act morally and ethically have aresponsibility to follow the order of law, leds to a fundamental theoretical problem in terms of discovering thecauses of crimes committed by such afictitious person. I follow this line of thought about the arguments madeby representatives of corporate crime. Specifically, I follow the concept of“decoupling,”by using varioustechniques of formal logic. The conclusion is that the concept of corporate crime is a logical contradiction (aneternal false statement), but the research has one analytical point which must be incorporated into theresearch of white-collar criminality: how structural conditions of a corporation’s policy and strategy“produce”or influence the individuals within the corporation to make decisions. The aim of the paper is toprove on logical grounds that the direction of research on corporate crime is on the wrong track tofind thetruth (basic elements and mechanisms) about white-collar crime.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- PurposeIn the field of crime prevention there are several theoretical approaches explaining why crime occurs and how to prevent it. Three of them – routine activity theory, crime pattern theory and the theory of crime-as-choice – are logically tested in this work. The point of departure is to test if the theories are logical consistent and logical valid, irrespective of whether the criterion for criminal intent is changed from direct intention to negligence.Design/methodology/approachThe issues will be explored in a logical structure by a first-order logic propositional analysis.FindingsThe analysis shows that all three theories are logical consistent, but only routine activity theory is logical valid. The conclusion is that crime prevention should in general assume that routine activity theory is the legitimate theory and that social prevention as a prevention strategy is logically unnecessary to adopt because it does not matter whether the offender is motivated (direct intention) or not (negligence).Practical implicationsIt does not really matter if the authors theoretically treat white-collar offenders as motivated, because if they have committed an actus reus, they are an offender according to the objective requisites. This means that the best strategies to prevent a potential white-collar criminal are situational prevention, i.e. complicate their access to money, where it becomes irrelevant if the potential offender has a mens rea or not. What counts is the prevention of actus reus by a potential offender.Originality/valueAs far as I know, no one has previously investigated the logical consistency and/or logical validity of routine activity theory, crime pattern theory and the theory of crime-as-choice as theories of crime prevention.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since the publication of Edwin Sutherland's classical study, White Collar Crime, personality has been treated as completely irrelevant as a cause or as a correlating variable in studies of economic crime. This article questions that thesis. In an ongoing Swedish project studying economic crime in the areas of construction, engineering, and the music industry, 128 informants were interviewed regarding the personal character of the economic criminal compared to that of the law-abiding businessperson. Data were collected from five different regions in Sweden using the Big Five model, the personality model most often used within the field of personality research today. This article compares the results from the interviews with the few international studies that exist regarding economic crimes in these areas and common results are emphasized. It also presents nuanced analyses of the significance of personality in economic crime.
