This particular research work had been conducted to assess the relationship between
economics and sociology with the view to reconcile the two autonomous bodies of discipline and
thereby establish the point of convergences and divergences with regard to white collar crimes in
the field of business. This goes as far as the basic purpose of the research is concerned.
The evidences which have been collected for conducting this particular research work
finds mention of crimes committed by both the affluent and the less affluent sections of the
society. This is where sociology is relevant. By affluent section of the society it has been meant
in this context the white collar job holders in big business, naturally the kind of crime that they
would commit and the method of it, would be having a greater degree of sophistication. The
relevance of the discipline of economics comes into the picture because the materialistic gain
involved in the greater crimes committed by white collar job holders is higher than the crimes
committed by less affluent section of the society.
The methodological aspect for conducting the research has been qualitative, involving an
analysis of the existing literature. It is an attempt to arrive at a deductive conclusion about the
nature of corporate crime. This is how it is related to other sources.
The sources provide an answer to the research question as sophisticated crimes in the
field of business shall involve the aspect of maneouvering through the digital complicacies.

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the level of corruption in public sector
enterprises and the impetus it has generated in bringing about legal and social amendments so as
to counter the proliferation of such malpractices in future.
The evidences have been collected from the accounts of crimes committed in the
financial sector of Wall Street, New York. The list of crimes involve corruption, fraudulent
practices, agency driven organized crime and the strategies involved in the hatching of those
conspiracies which finally led to the culmination of the crime. The methodological approach has
been a mix of both qualitative and case study methods, and the conclusion being deductive in
nature. The available literature in the subject matter, official documents and historical documents
have been looked into for presenting the final draft of the research paper. This goes as far as the
elements and overall structure is concerned.
The uniqueness of this research lies in the fact that it has chosen a historically important
and significant issue for the sake of analysis without delving deep into the generalized intricacies
of the issue of white collar crimes. This is how it is related to other sources.
This particular article is related to the research question since all white collar crimes are
committed in an institutional set up, not in a vacuum in an ad hoc manner.
