Answer a few of the following questions and explore some of your own thoughts and ideas in a substantive, original post.

• Are rules and regulations established to protect against management fraud effective? If so, why is fraud still so prevalent? What else can be done to prevent/deter fraud?
• How can you prove intent? If someone doesn't "intend" to commit fraud but nevertheless their actions or inactions lead to fraud, should they be held responsible?
• Do you think society, as a whole, is to blame for top management fraud?
• Compare and contrast conflict theory, differential opportunity, subculture, etc.
• What are your thoughts on the various industry-level antecedents the authors discuss?
• Do you agree with the authors assertion that street crime disproportionately victimizes the poor but seems to imply that management fraud doesn't. Why?
