Question

What are crimes committed by an individual for personal gain and profit during the course of their occupation?

Answer 1

Answer: Occupational crimes

Explanation: Occupational crimes which are also called workplace crimes can be simply refered to as wrongdoings by people over the course of their work or employment. For example, you work as a typist at a university examination office and an exam question was submitted by a lecturer . Going through the paper, you realized that it is one of the exams to written by your friend the following day and you quickly rush home to tell him about the questions submitted by the lecturer. You might have done this because you want your friend to study that particular question prior to him sitting for the exams so that he can pass with flying colors but then you have committed a workplace crime/ occupational crime.
