Os crimes de colarinho branco: da origem à análise dos fatores que influenciam na sua prática à luz da ética de Immanuel Kant

Abstract

The analysis of white collar crimes in general does not have the same visibility as the common crimes that are observed on the streets and in the daily lives of citizens, who grow exponentially in every country. The most striking feature of white-collar crime is the mode of execution adopted by sophisticated criminals, who resort to innumerable devices to conceal their activities. They are part of the role of the Economic Criminal Law, which covers crimes against the National Financial System, against the economic order, against the tax system, against the social security system, against consumer relations, against public finances, as well as confidentiality of the operations of Financial Institutions, bringing special laws regarding each type of crime. In the practice of so-called white-collar crimes, criminal agents collide with the central tenets of Immanuel Kant's ethics, and bring disastrous consequences to the collectivity.
