heavy fines can leave you struggling for years after serving your sentence.

White Collar Crime vs. Blue Collar Crime
"White collar" and "blue collar" are popular phrases
that also carry meaning when it comes to criminal law. White collar and
blue collar are generally distinguished based on violence and economic
gain. Whether a crime is considered white collar or blue collar, it has
the potential of causing serious legal troubles for an individual.
-
Blue collar crimes include violent offenses such as
theft crimes,
drug crimes, and other street violations.
-
White collar crimes include bribery, fraud, and a number of federal crimes as well.
