White-collar crime, media portrayal of crime demographics, and family violence victimization are explored, emphasizing fraud and misleading crime representations.
White-collar crime involves crimes committed by individuals of high social status, focusing on fraud and illegal behavior by professionals and corporate executives. Victims of fraud are often individuals caught in schemes perpetrated by those in positions of trust and respectability, rather than lower-income individuals.
The media tends to exaggerate portrayals of crimes involving people of color as offenders, while emphasizing stories with white victims. This can mislead perceptions of crime demographics, such as the race and status of both perpetrators and victims.
Family violence, mostly committed by males, affects both genders, with males being more likely to be victimized in general violent crimes. However, family violence rates have been on the decline since the mid-90s.
