Hello

I need help an essay is about:

14 years have passed since the onset of what is sometimes called the Great Recession. While the economy has slowly improved, millions of Americans still live in quiet desperation: without jobs, resources, or hope. Many people are most likely to have asked at some point:Why are there no bankers in prison as a result of the financial crisis? Who was to blame? Was it simply a result of negligence, of the kind of inordinate risk-taking commonly called a "bubble," of an imprudent but innocent failure to maintain adequate reserves for a rainy day? Or was it the result, at least in part, of fraudulent practices, of dubious mortgages portrayed as sound risks and packaged into ever more esoteric financial instruments, the fundamental weaknesses of which were intentionally obscured?

In striking contrast with these past prosecutions, not a single high-level executive has been successfully prosecuted in connection with the financial crisis, and given the fact that most of the relevant criminal provisions are governed by a five-year statute of limitations, it appears likely that none will be. It may not be too soon, therefore, to ask why.I think there is a sense that people are particularly outraged about this form of crime, understandably, because it's generally perpetrated by people who are in a position of economic and social advantage in society; people in positions of trust.

Broad changes at the social level, such as raising awareness of the seriousness of white-collar crime, the mechanisms that encourage it, and the social conventions that contribute to its continued existence, may ultimately prove useful in limiting white-collar crime. More practically, various specific policy options are available to respond to white-collar crime, ranging from public shaming, self-policing, and private negotiation to citizen group boycotts, civil lawsuits, administrative justice, and criminal prosecution.

Your essay should reflect the knowledge you have accumulated throughout the course and answer the questions "Who are the perpetrators of white-collar crime, why does it so often go undetected and what can be done to prevent it?" Throughout the semester, we will discuss several theories of crime and criminality as it pertains to white-collar crime, each with strengths, weaknesses, and policy implications. They all attempt to explain the causes of white-collar crime and what if anything we can do about it.My suggestion is to try not to tackle more than 3 theories max when selecting a topic. For example, below are some theories we discussed:

1. Rational Choice Theory

2. General Theory of Crime

3. Social Learning Theory

4. Routine Activities Theory

5. Labeling Theory

6. Social Bond Theory

You are not limited to just the theories above. I will give you great latitude on your topic. You may want to choose from a long list of high-profile individuals convicted of white-collar crimes in recent decades includingIvan Boesky, Bernard Ebbers, Michael Milken, and Bernie Madoff. You could even discuss the more recent headline-grabbing case ofElizabeth Holmes and Theranos. Theranos was an American privately held corporation that was touted as a breakthrough health technology company. Founded in 2003 by 19-year-old Elizabeth Holmes, Theranos raised more than US$700 million from venture capitalists and private investors, resulting in a $10 billion valuation at its peak in 2013 and 2014. Just some thoughts.
