MODERATORS
Sometimes people who ask for sources just want more details. This looks like one of those times.
I'm fine with people wanting more information. That's a good thing! But everyone should find that information themselves. I'm some random person on the internet, and that's how I approach every claim I read from others. We live in the information age, and if you are reading this and posting things in lemmy/reddit/Facebook/Twitter /etc you have all the resources needed to find peer reviewed studies and articles. Every adult individual needs to be their own researcher of knowledge. Ultimately it wouldn't matter what source I provide if you are not willing to read up on several other studies that cover phycology, economics, history, politics, and so much more. All together they help create my opinion that "White Collar Crime" undermines democracy, weakens capitalism, and leads to blue collar crime.
