Answer:

<u>True</u>

Explanation:

Edwin Sutherland was a sociologist who spend most of his career developing theories of criminal behaviour. He was the first one to study and publish articles about white collar crime.

His work broadened the field of criminology and led to the study of more than just street crime.  He developed the phrase ' White collar crime' in 1939, after studying 15 American Utility companies and 70 major corporations. He was sure that crime wasn't limited to the streets only but the respected and well educated individuals also committed crime.

White collar crime is the crime motivated by financial gain and committees by a person of respectability and high social status, their in  no violence in  such crimes but they are motivated by greed.

What type of warning systems do places have to tell people there are going to be tsunamis?
jeyben [28]
There must be an earthquake detector in place to detect any earthquakes off the shores in the oceans. This system can be a regional or local system, and although the system is fallible the margin of error is very small.

Sometimes though the earth quake/movement is too close to shore to detect it in time, and people get caught in it as a result.

There also needs to be a universal warning signal that actually tells people that the tsunami is coming.

I hope this helped.
