Description
For this week’s assignment, we ask you to take a look at what many
criminologists consider the perfect example of white collar crime, i.e.,
the Ford Pinto case. To do so, search the Internet to discover all
things surrounding this important example of the use of cost-benefit
analysis in making a business decision. After doing your homework, ask
yourself if the automobile industry like other businesses be
inextricably linked to white collar crime. You might want to start your
research with Ralph Nader’s Unsafe at Any Speed. Nader should peak your
interest into further investigating automobile makers and their
questionable manufacturing habits and directives.
In the form of
an essay, explain in detail how the questionable tactics you found in
the automobile industry exist in other industries. In doing so, you will
begin to understand the differences between blue and white collar
crime.
I found a few pages about that.
One of the examples could be
Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring,” which highlighted the dangers of the pesticide DDT to the environment.
