What explanations have been suggested for occupational crime? Is it different from conventional crime?

... What explanations have been suggested for occupational crime? Is it different from conventional crime? Occupational crime first started being reported in the early19th Century. It appeared to have occurred in almost every occupation within legitimate jobs (Tobias, 1972:10). Today there is no correct estimation of the amount of people committing occupational crime due to many cases being unreported and uncovered. In 1967 it was estimated in the US, that the total figure of white collar crime amounted to around $21,billion, compared to $600,million resulting from conventional crime (Sutherland, 1967:194). To present how many people indulge in occupational crime, criminologists predict between 75 and 92per cent of the US regularly take part (Cort, 1959; Horning, 1970; Laird, 1950; Zeitlin, 1971:1).
