Summary/Abstract: Although Edwin Sutherland coined the term ‘white-collar crime’ in his presidential address to the American Sociological Society in December 1939, scholarly consideration of the subject precedes that date considerably. However, white-collar criminality is often observed with indiference by the public and has been neglected by most academics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this paper is to build on Sutherland’s insights by addressesing different propositions and empirical research on white-collar crime derived from five macro-theories of crime. It is about crimes, mostly economic offenses, committed by and against businesses: why they are committed and, to some extent, how to control white-collar crime? The paper concludes that there is no universal explanation why ‘good’ people do ‘dirty’ work.
