The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been a big part in the investigation of important events such as 9/11, Kansas city massacre, etc. With the FBI focusing on investigating, on finding and bringing the culprit to justice. They have many different fields to scrutinize, these are very important. The Bureau has cybersecurity, counter-terrorism, etc. However, some are less important than others. Although the FBI’s participation in white-collar crimes is useful, with the involvement of other agencies the Bureau can focus on other more important fields, the relocation of federal agents will boost public opinion, and white-collar crime agencies will receive more information shared from the FBI.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation focuses on many

“Citizens who have recieved satisfaction from law enforcement with respect to white-collar crime are probably more likely to report crime, be stand-up complaining witnesses, and generally cooperate with police[more often]”(Organization of Agency Efforts to Combat White-Collar Crime, Pg. 6). With the elimination of the FBI’s white-collar crime division, white-collar appropriation will be handled more effectively as more information will be passed and criminals will be arrested. This boosts public opinion as these people “recieve satisfaction” from the arrest made to white-collar criminals. “Citizens entire attitude toward government could be improved by satisfactory contacts with anti-white-collar crime enforcement[Securities and Exchange Commisions] efforts”(Organization of Agency Efforts to Combat White-Collar Crime, Pg. 6). With the FBI granting information to the SEC and the SEC working tirelessly to connect people to a white-collar crime and arresting them, it enhances public opinion which can make people more willing to help. This will help more people guilty of the crime be commited and “control street …show more content…
However, not much information is shared outside of the FBI’s, SEC’s, Finra’s, FERA’s, etc, respective agencies. This puts “white-collar criminals at a great advantage” as the “[j]ealousies and rivalries among investigators and among investigative and prosecutorial agencies need to be reduced and if possible eliminated”. Most of the agencies share little to no information because of competition and rivalries between them, this allows important information to slip past an agency focused on a single case. With the dilution of the FBI’s white-collar crime division, more information will be lended to other white-collar crime agencies in order to solve more cases. The FBI’s information would be critical as they have “43 pending investigations on large companies”, and “2,346 probes of potential mortgage-related fraud”, this information will help with the investigations at the SEC and FERA. Not much information is shared between any agencies as they have high competition and rivalries between opposing sides. This, however, hurts the community and gives criminals an advantage and the ability to get away with sometimes million dollar schemes. This would change with the dilution of the FBI’s white-collar crime division as more information would flow
I have noticed that for the violent crimes, the FBI informs the people that the offender should be considered armed and dangerous. I also noticed that the FBI offers a higher reward for violent crimes than for non-violent property crimes, which makes sense. Macedo is charged with first degree murder. Said is charged with multiple capital murders. Dimitrion is charged with mortgage fraud.
When James “Whitey” Bulger appeared in court for the first time in June of 2013, one would never know that he was once the most feared criminal in Boston. At 84 years old, Bulger “shuffled into a federal courthouse” like “a dinosaur in an orange jumpsuit.” (McMorrow 1) After 16 years of escaping the wrath of the FBI, Bulger was finally being put on trial for his long list of heinous crimes including 11 murders, money laundering, weapon violations, and racketeering. (McMorrow 1) However, even more shocking than his convictions was the relationship Bulger had with the FBI, which unraveled before the eyes of the court and people across the country.
A white collar crime is committed to make profits, they are not the acts of madmen or irrational people. They are rational acts that often require planning and careful
In week sevens exam the regulatory oversight components is looked at and how it affects white-collar crime as well its effectiveness in preventing these crimes as its basic intent. This essay will attempt to investigate and explore the possible solutions as well as the scenarios that are best employed in the use of regulatory oversight, as well as its meaning and function. It is also hoped that by virtue of this examination that possible improvements can be suggested as to advancing the understanding and history of past and current polices. By definition the regulatory agencies function is primarily deal with the administrative aspect of laws where regulation as well as rule making are codified by a legislative body.
It is understood that a criminal will be a criminal. While Gonzalez's crimes ultimately caused a lot of losses in his time as an active member of credit card fraud groups, can that loss be outweighed by the gains the federal government got from working with him? Can the Secret Service be held reliable for Gonzalez's actions while he worked under their supervision? Is it the government's job to set security standards for everyone to follow or should that be left to individual companies? The rest of this paper is aimed at addressing some of these points, with a specific emphasis on the following issue: was it morally sound for the government to hire Gonzalez in the first place, knowing what he is capable
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are two premier intelligence agencies in the United States, each with its own distinct organizational culture. The historical roots of these different cultures can be traced back to their origins and mandates. The FBI was established in 1908 as a domestic law enforcement agency, primarily focused on investigating violations of federal laws within the United States. On the other hand, the CIA was formed in 1947 as an independent agency responsible for gathering foreign intelligence information, mainly outside US borders. This difference in focus and jurisdiction has shaped their respective organizational cultures over time.
To this day, Chicago has a huge problem with gang violence, which may have even started because of Capone business. The crime rate today might not be as high if Capone was not as successful as he had been. He also helped the public realize alcohol and criminality were not appropriate solutions to social problems. Because of Capone, the FBI was established as an efficient and low-abiding enforcement agency. While Capone could bribe politicians and Chicago’s police, the FBI held a level of honesty that no one can live up to, even now.
The FBI is celebrating its 109th year as a formidable institution. It was established in 1908. Through many years of diligent work, J. Edgar Hoover worked to establish the credibility of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This now prestigious institution has worked foreign and domestically to catch criminals with the help of the FBI’s Most Wanted List. The FBI’s Most Wanted List was implemented to bring awareness to the public about dangerous criminals.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation vs The Presidents Introduction The FBI describes itself as "intelligence-driven and threat-focused" on its website. The FBI has changed a lot since it was established in 1908, among other things. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was founded in 1865 to look into and stop crimes, notably the distribution of fake money, which had grown to be a significant problem during the Civil War. According to fbi.gov/history, "the Department of Justice established the Bureau of Investigation (BOI) as a division under its control in 1908" due to the amount of work that had grown to be too much for the Secret Service.
In one case covering the death of prisoner Kenneth Michael Trentadue, the FBI’s handling of evidence was criticized, as stated, “The FBI's conduct is receiving renewed scrutiny after revelations” (“Internal Probes Found” 1) Anytime the FBI makes a consequential mistake they get hammered by the public and the media. In the same incident dealing with the former FBI agent Matthew Lowry’s corruption, Herman in his article states that “It also exposed weaknesses in the handling of drug evidence in the FBI’s Washington field office.” (Herman 1) What makes this worse is that the FBI’s reputation is being damaged by someone who is supposed to improve and maintain
Many attempts were made with limited success but the Kefauver Committee was one of the first major groups that helped start the investigation of organized crime. Eventually, the need for more research grew and President Reagon created the President’s Commission to increase their knowledge of organized crime by developing “a contingency model that highlighted levels of involvement of members and nonmembers” (Schram & Tibbetts, 2021, p.369). By helping to identify criminal groups, protectors, specialized support, user support, and social support, policies could be made to deter crime. While the change in time creates a new need for investigation of how crime operates, especially with cyber crimes, it allows for the government to target specific areas, doing so resulting in other areas not operating as well. The above theories behind Al Capone’s behavior could also help the government address crime in policy
In this case “white collar crime”. Therefore, before committing the crime the offender weighs the pros and cons associated with the crime. The offender who decides to commit “white collar crime” goes about it in the everyday activities in their job. The offender on a daily basis will observe a certain type of “white collar crime” taking place in his workplace and during the daily or routine interaction with his colleague who is carrying on the crime, will learn how to commit the same type of “white collar crime”
“Never underestimate a FBI’s ability to find things out” (Unknown). FBI agents are people who investigate situations where harm is involved. Being an FBI agent has always been something that interests me. I have always liked solving things and this job is based a lot on solving investigations. I have never been interested in a laid back job, I have always wanted something more action based.
The FBI is traditionally based on the matrix organizational structure which assigns employees to several supervisors and managers who are responsible for the integration of organization’s performance and implementation. Many project managers and implementation supervisors work on specific tasks within the whole organizational level of FBI and make sure multiple decentralized 56 field offices are integrated into their activities. However, in the U.S. to combat terrorism and criminal was a tough goal when it runs through the matrix structure with a less information sharing procedure and variety of separate decentralized databases including paper documents. That is the reason of two of agents was suspected to each other as a criminal. In this
The Federal Bureau of Investigations was known as Department of Investigations in the early 1900. In 1936, the DOI officially became the Federal Bureau of Investigation in which the FBI established a national police training program, the
