Think about it. Most of the white-collar crimes are related to wealth <em>honesty</em>, while crimes that are committed within other communities are often related with guns, violence, and substance abuse. White-collar offenses are committed by the wealthy, often Caucasian-American individuals, while other crimes often take place within minority groups. If white-collar crimes are handled in as civil crimes, then the statistics for crime rates in criminal court would completely tilt toward minorities, leading people to believe that only poor individuals commit crimes. Therefore, your best answer is option D.
