Profit Without Honor takes a lively storytelling approach to white-collar crime. The text paints a vivid picture of white-collar crime in the US today. Witty and engaging, it exposes the discrepancies between personal gain and individual integrity. The authors examine high-profile cases, trends in criminal activity, and the victims and consequences of criminal behaviors. Colorful anecdotes and statistics spark interest and engagement.

The 7th Edition addresses dramatic new developments in the study of white-collar crime since the last edition, including dozens of cases of corporate and governmental abuses of power in our modern era. This edition looks at the water crisis that has devastated Flint, Michigan, and the scams of certain for-profit colleges, among many other examples.
