White-collar crimes do not attract as much media attention as violent crimes (Trahan, Marquart, and Mullings 2005). This is a strange fact because white-collar crimes cost society far more than violent crimes (Messner and Rosenfeld, 2007). Although there are many different definitions of white-collar crime, Schoepfer and Piquero describe it as a non-physical crime used either to obtain property or to prevent its seizure (2006). People who commit these crimes are seeking personal gain or some sort of organizational gain and are pressured to succeed economically from the idea of ​​the American dream. The authors suggest that there are two types of people who commit crimes: those who have an immense desire for control and those who fear losing everything they have worked hard to achieve (Schopfer and Piquero 2006). The two groups have different reasons for turning to crime, but both groups commit crime for their own benefit. Higher levels of high school dropouts were found to be directly correlated with levels of embezzlement in white-collar crime (2006). Because they dropped out of college, they are less likely to succeed legitimately and turn to crime more often than their graduates.
