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?
