Answer to Question 1

Occupational (white-collar) crime comprises illegal activities committed by people in the course of their employment or financial affairs. In addition to acting for their own financial benefit, some white-collar offenders become involved in criminal conspiracies designed to improve the market share or profitability of their companies. This is known as corporate crimeillegal acts committed by corporate employees on behalf of the corporation and with its support. Examples include antitrust violations; tax evasion; misrepresentations in advertising; infringements on patents, copyrights, and trademarks; price fixing; and financial fraud. These crimes are a result of deliberate decisions made by corporate personnel to enhance resources or profits at the expense of competitors, consumers, and the general public. Corporate crimes are often more costly in terms of money and lives lost than street crimes. Thousands of jobs and billions of dollars are lost each year due to corporate crimes. Deaths resulting from corporate crimes such as polluting the air and water and manufacturing defective products far exceed the number of deaths due to homicide each year.

Answer to Question 2

Occasionally, a hormone imbalance before birth produces a person in whom sexual

differentiation is ambiguous or incomplete. People with ambiguous genitalia today are

termed intersex (previously called hermaphrodites). People who are intersex have

some combination of male and female genitalia.
