Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics. As it happens, Feldman’s accidental study provides a window on

to a form of cheating that has long stymied academics: white-collar crime. (Yes, shorting the bagel man is white-collar crime, writ however small.) It might seem ludicrous to address as large and intractable a problem as white-collar crime through the life of a bagel man. But often a small and simple question can help chisel away at the biggest problems. Despite all the attention paid to rogue companies like Enron, academics know very little about the practicalities of white-collar crime. The reason? There are no good data. A key fact of white-collar crime is that we hear about only the very slim fraction of people who are caught cheating. Most embezzlers lead quiet and theoretically happy lives; employees who steal company property are rarely detected. What purpose does the “bagel man” serve in this argument? to shift the focus toward a specific man to entertain the reader with a funny story to show the seriousness of cheating to shed light on white-collar crime

Explanation:

The Children's Crusade launched on May 1963 was an initiative of Rev. James Bevel an adviser to King who wanted children to begin their own march. Dr. Martin Luther King greatly encouraged the children to participate in this march. According to the author of this text, this march changed the face of the movement and helped many to embrace the end to segregation preached by the blacks.

Without this crusade, the author believes that Dr. King may not have been recognized for all of his hardwork in the black emancipation struggle.
