Assignment:
Please discuss "Opportunity Structures for White-Collar Crime," by Engdahl.
In your discussion, among other things, please answer the following:
A. Discuss how Engdahl draws upon Goffman's concept to explain the issue of how social positions create opportunities for white collar crime. What is it that the broker is to know and what he is assumed to do, which leads the client, and the organization for which the broker works, to extend unquestioning trust? What is the broker's status within the organization that contributes to his autonomy?
B. Define the concept of "barrier" Engdahl employs and identify and discuss two of three such barriers in the case study of stock broker fraud.
C. Based on Engdahl's analysis of the case study of stock broker fraud, it would appear that both the client and the firm must assume a degree of responsibility for making possible this white collar crime. Describe the possible ways in which both the client and the firm must be seen to shoulder at least some of the responsibility for enabling this stock fraud to occur.
Please discuss "Pimp-Controlled Prostitution," by Williamson and Cluse-Tolar. In your discussion, among other things, please answer the following:
A. Discuss the rules of the pimp game, including the use of violence, from the standpoints of both the pimp and the prostitute. Why do prostitutes generally buy into this game? Explain.
B. Why don't more prostitutes leave their .abusive pimps? How do ones that do decide to leave, eventually do so? Do you think it is accurate to compare prostitutes with abused women in abusive domestic relationships? Why or why not?
C. Describe the process of "turning a woman out." How do pimps control women in the initial stage of recruitment? What is the pimp's relationship to a woman as he is recruiting her?
