Read the following scenario and answer BOTH questions in your initial response. Utilize evidence based research to support your opinion in initial and subsequent posts with your peers to receive the highest points.
Jane Doe is a second-year college student. She has been working as a bank teller part-time for two years. Over the course of those two years, she has systematically stolen from the cash drawer and used creative transactions that were with real and fake customer accounts to hide her crime.
When she is caught, she asks for leniency saying she “is just trying to make ends meet.” An examination of Jane’s life-style shows she spends money on high dollar clothes, shoes, and accessories well beyond her means. She has numerous credit cards charged to their maximum and has a history of non-payment. She is able to obtain these cards because credit card companies offer college students many start up cards, and she has taken advantage of this.
1. Does Jane fit the text book definition of white collar criminal and crime, and do you agree? Why or why not?
2. What is the societal impact of this type of crime?
You must use at least one outside journal article to support your position and all references in your post must be cited in APA format.
