Editorial: Business Crime in Illinois
White-collar crime has a strong historical link with the state of Illinois. Edwin Sutherland, who earned his doctorate and worked as a research professor at the University of Chicago, coined the term; and from its roots in criminology, whitecollar criminal defence has become a thriving legal practice area. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has noted that with significant growth in the securities and commodities markets comes a marked rise in intentional corporate fraud and misconduct. In an appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee in June 2006 an official from the Department of Justice’s criminal division confirmed that despite statistical drops in the level of business crime prosecutions, white-collar crime remains a priority for the Department of Justice and owing to the numerous high-profile cases of recent years, the market for legal advice in this area shows no signs of slowing down. It is therefore a dynamic area in which to work in Illinois.
