Edwin Sutherland’s pioneering studies on white-collar crime in the first half of the twentieth century fundamentally shaped our criminological understanding of this complex phenomenon by emphasizing its structural and foundational parameters. He argued that the concept of white-collar crime should center on dishonest behavior and the betrayal of trust, and he insisted that this newly identified category of crime be taken seriously (Sutherland, 1939). Traditionally, the seriousness of white-collar crime has been examined as a singular phenomenon, often lacking the nuanced exploration of its dimensions or underlying propositions (Andriaessen et al., 2020; Dodge et al., 2013; Lord & Levi, 2023; Michel, 2016). This chapter seeks to advance the study of white-collar crime by providing a detailed analysis of perceptions of seriousness concerning each of the fourteen convenience propositions discussed earlier. The aim is to investigate which aspects of white-collar crime—specifically within the dimensions of motive, opportunity, and willingness—are perceived as the most serious and impactful in shaping notions of trust.
