Özet:

 White collar crime refers to crimes committed by people of high social status in society in connection with their professions. The term white collar crime, due to their economic nature, is also frequently used to refer to economic crimes. However, it may be misleading to talk about a complete identity. The emergence of white collar crime occurred with Edwin Hardin Sutherlands speech in front of the American Sociological Association in 1939. Since then, it has crossed continents and found a wide area of use. The damage caused to the economic structure of these crimes and the sense of insecurity created by society can reach enormous dimensions. On the other hand, the reaction to the crimes in question may be very low, and it may be more difficult to notice or reveal than other crimes. The outcome awaiting failures is also milder compared to ordinary crime failures. In the point which factors encourage these people of high social status in society to commit crimes, classical criminological approaches fail. Studies on white collar crime, which falls within the domain of many branches of science such as criminal law, criminology, sociology and economy, are increasing day by day.

 Beyaz yaka suçu, toplumda yüksek sosyal statüye sahip kişilerin meslekleriyle bağlantılı olarak işledikleri suçları ifade etmektedir. Bu suçlar ekonomik mahiyette olduğundan beyaz yaka suçu terimi ekonomik suçları ifade etmek için de sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Bununla birlikte tam manada bir ayniyetten bahsetmek yanıltıcı olabilmektedir. Beyaz yaka suçu teriminin ortaya çıkışı Edwin Hardin Sutherlandın 1939da Amerikan Sosyoloji Derneği önünde yaptığı konuşma ile olur. Sonrasında terimin şöhreti kıtaları aşar, kendine geniş bir kullanım sahası bulur. Bu suçların ekonomik yapıda meydana getirdiği tahribat ve toplumda yarattığı güvensizlik duygusu devasa boyutlara varabilmektedir. Buna mukabil mevzubahis suçlara gösterilen reaksiyon çok düşük kalabilmekte, fark edilmesi veya ortaya çıkarılması diğer suçlara nazaran daha zor olabilmektedir. Failleri bekleyen akıbet de adi suç faillerine nispetle daha yumuşak olmaktadır. Toplumda yüksek sosyal statüye sahip bu kimseleri suç işlemeye teşvik eden amiller noktasında, klasik kriminolojik yaklaşımlar iflas etmektedir. Ceza hukuku, kriminoloji, sosyoloji ve iktisat gibi pek çok ilim dalının çalışma sahasına giren beyaz yaka suçuna dair çalışmalar günden güne artmaktadır.
