This chapter begins with an introduction to social process theories or interactionist perspectives,
which assume that everyone has the potential to violate the law, so that criminality is not an
innate characteristic of certain individuals. The main types of social process theories are social
learning theory, social control theory, labeling theory, the reintegrative shaming approach, and
dramaturgy.

This chapter discusses various types of violent crime in America, including homicide, rape,
robbery, assault, workplace violence, stalking, and terrorism.

This chapter reviews two specific categories of crime: white-collar crime and organized crime.
Edwin Sutherland’s original 1939 definition of white-collar crime focused on the social standing
of the offender; today, the focus has shifted to the type of offense committed. Currently, one
commonly used term is occupational crime, which includes any criminal act committed through
opportunities created in the course of a legal occupation. Gary S. Green developed a typology of
occupational crime that includes four categories: organizational occupational crime, state
authority occupational crime, professional occupational crime, and individual occupational
crime. Corporate crime, another form of white-collar crime, is committed for the benefit of the
corporation rather than the individual employee. One new area of corporate crime is
environmental crime. There have been a number of attempts to explain white-collar crime.
Sutherland applied elements of differential association theory to white-collar crime. Travis
Hirschi and Michael Gottfredson stated that white-collar criminals are motivated by the same
forces that drive other offenders and suggest that a general theory of crime can explain whitecollar crime and other forms of crime as well. John Braithwaite states that white-collar criminals
are motivated by a disparity between corporate goals and legitimate means and suggests that
business subcultures encourage illegal behavior. Dealing with white-collar crime may require
ethical, enforcement, structural, and political reforms.

Drugs, and the relationship of drugs to crime, is one of the most significant policy issues today.
There are a number of sources of data on drug abuse in the United States; this chapter reviews
the findings of several recent surveys of both juveniles and adults. The costs of drug abuse are
extremely difficult to measure, as they include not only measurable expenditures (law
enforcement activities, criminal justice case processing, drug-treatment programs, etc.) but also
related costs (illness and death resulting from exposure to controlled substances, drug-related
crime, family fragmentation caused by illegal drug use, attitudinal change, etc.). There are seven
main categories of controlled substances: stimulants, depressants, cannabis, narcotics,
hallucinogens, anabolic steroids, and inhalants. In addition, there is a separate eighth category,
dangerous drugs, which refers to broad categories or classes of controlled substances other
than cocaine, opiates, and cannabis products

This chapter discusses the links between technology and crime. Technology, which facilitates
new forms of criminal behavior, can be used both by criminals and by those who enforce the
law. Because of the increasing value of information, high-tech criminals have taken a variety of
routes to obtain illegitimate access to computerized information. Some criminals may focus
simply on destroying or altering information rather than copying it. Technically, computer crime
is defined as any violation of a federal or state computer crime statute. The text discusses
several typologies of computer crime. Some authors use the term cyber crime to refer to crimes
involving the use of computers or the manipulation of digital data. One example of cyber crime
is phone phreaking, which involves the illegitimate use of dial-up access codes and other
restricted technical information to avoid long-distance charges or to steal cellular telephone
numbers and access codes.
