White Collar Crimes

In Pennsylvania, and other states, white collar crimes are normally seen as non-violent crimes. In general, white collar crimes involve acts of deception, manipulation, evasion, etc. for the benefit of the perpetrator. It's important to understand that white collar crimes can be prosecuted as state and/or federal offenses. And of course, if you are charged with a federal crime, the penalties are harsher and incarceration time longer.
