Synopsis

The development of a zero tolerance approach to deal with street crime has been much discussed. Although subject to debate, it is has proven effective in certain locations as a way to decrease crime. While street crime is being dealt with firmly by the state, the economic and physical damage caused by corporate organized offenders is currently increasing with little by way of state reaction. There is a view that such white collar offenders should be dealt with through negotiation and exhortation rather than through enforcement. My argument, however is that zero tolerance can be applied to white collar organized offenders. Changes can be made in society and in criminal justice systems to foster the components of a zero tolerance framework.
