1. ABSTRACT
For thousands of years, people have been committing crimes. The types of crimes committed
today differ significantly from those of past generations. People have a natural tendency to
view marginalized and oppressed groups as criminals. This is due to the fact that they require
the most funds and resources in order to satisfy their needs. India's economic prosperity has
been significantly impacted by the recent rise in white-collar crime in the nation. White-collar
crimes are defined as unlawful activities that do not entail the use or threat of physical force
or violence and are typified by deceit, concealment, or breach of trust. India's economy is
hindered by a number of frauds and economic threats. Personal financial gain is usually the
motivation behind these financial crimes. White collar crime is one example of how crime
has changed as a result of growing industry and socioeconomic progress. Robbery, rape, and
murder are examples of crimes against society that people commonly assume can only be
committed by members of the middle class or poor, but this is not the case. Regardless of
their financial status, anyone can commit white-collar crime. However, it is usually linked to
powerful and affluent people. Although these crimes lack any particular behavior, they are
quite varied and have the potential to cause businesses and investors to suffer significant
financial losses. In this regard, the Indian government needs to act swiftly to reduce the
country's growing white-collar crime rate.
