White Collar Crime vs. Blue Collar Crime

"White collar" and "blue collar" are popular phrases that also carry meaning when it comes to criminal law. White collar and blue collar are generally distinguished based on violence and economic gain. Whether a crime is considered white collar or blue collar, it has the potential of causing serious legal troubles for an individual.

• Blue collar crimes include violent offenses such as theft crimes, drug crimes, and other street violations.
• White collar crimes include bribery, fraud, and a number of federal crimes as well.
