Using a proprietary dataset of 667 companies around the world that experienced whitecollar crime we investigate what drives punishment of perpetrators of crime. We find a significantly lower propensity to punish crime in our sample, where most crimes are not reported to the regulator, relative to samples in studies investigating punishment of perpetrators in cases investigated by U.S. regulator...

This article examines the spatial variability in the distribution of crime in the City of Savannah, GA, where a total of 12,458 crimes were reported in 2000. All crimes were geocoded and the same numbers of control locations were generated under the assumption that the spatial distribution of crime is a realization of an inhomogeneous Poisson process (spatially random). The control locations se...

Climate and weather have been linked to criminal activity. The connection between climatological conditions and crime is of growing importance as we seek to understand the societal implications of climate change. This study describes the mechanisms theorized to link annual variations in climate to crime in California and examines the effect of drought on statewide crime rates from 2011-2015. Ca...

Investigations of white collar crimes such as corruption are often hindered by the lack of information or physical evidence. However, vast amount of information recorded, stored, analyzed, and shared using information and communication technologies (ICT) by businesses, governments, and citizens may help in investigating and prosecuting these crimes, and in deterring future crimes. This paper in...

Violence against women (VAW) is a major public health problem in the country. The problem is grossly under-reported. A number of factors have been blamed for crimes against women. An inefficient law enforcing machinery has often been targeted for the increasing number of cases being reported. There is little recognition that psychiatric morbidity can perpetuate such crimes. Of late, there appea...

This economic approach not only provides estimated technique of analyzing internet crimes but also gives details to analyzers of system dependability and divergence. This paper will highlight on the subject of online crime, which has formed its industry since. It all started from amateur hackers who ...

The standard socio-economic science model (SSSM) assumes very considerable cognitive powers on behalf of its individual agents. Agents are able both to gather a large amount of information and to process this efficiently so that they can carry out maximising behaviour. Criticisms of this approach are widespread, even within the discipline of economics itself. We set up agent based models in whi...
