Clues

  • Capitalism promotes crime in the suites by fostering avarice (6)
  • It is difficult to distinguish malevolence from incompetence ... in business and professional life we are more often concerned about the harmful effects of the latter" (6)
  • Looked at idea of delinquency and drift... young men drift in and out of crime at certain parts of their lives (inspired Katz) (5)
  • Suggests WCC might create distrust in society... "The financial loss from WCC, great as it is, is less important than damage to social relations". "WC criminals violate trust/create distrust; lowers social morale and produces social disorganisations (10)
  • WC criminals are not exceptionally impulsive. Live beyond their means. Lower re-offence rates (can move on quickly) (8)
