From the book chapter:
In order to address the increasing global impacts of white-collar and corporate crime, theoretical development that can advance our understanding of their causes and covariates is particularly important. In this chapter, we reviewed a diverse range of past and recent integrated theories of white-collar crime (WCC). We noted the prevalence of cross-level integrated theories that evolves from the necessity to incorporate broader organizational and macro-level contexts into individual crime decisions. Theories we reviewed also favored the rational choice and opportunity paradigms. Limitations of current integrated theories and potential opportunities for future research are discussed.
