Answer 1

Answer: D. Many times, when companies violated the law, it was intentional.

Edwin Sutherland was one of the most famous and influential criminologists to ever live. He gave several theories as to why people commit crime such as having grown up around crime and seeing it as normal.

His research into White Collar crime gave him eternal status as he broached a subject that many had avoided because the world then refused to accept that the higher economic classes could commit crime yet his research showed that many times, companies and their bigwigs violated the law intentionally.
