Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

o White-collar crimes are not an official category of the Uniform Crime Report.
White-collar crimes are financial activities that are characterized by deceit and
concealment that do not involve physical force or violence like other types of crime.
White-collar crimes use different techniques from property and violent crimes. Property and violent criminals use physical means to commit their crime and are usually in a location they are not lawfully allowed to be. White-collar criminals usually have legal access to the place where the crime occurs. They are also usually separated from the victim, the victim is often unknown, and they behave in a manner that appears to be legitimate. Common techniques used by white- collar criminals include deception, abuse of trust, and concealment.
