As an Ethics Board member for local government I recommend Profit Without Honor: White Collar Crime and the Looting of America, Fourth Edition. Most of the book relates to the private sector, but it provides case studies on fraud, political corruption, illegal union busting and many other cases of fallen honor and how profit lured its victims in their betrayal of governmental responsibilities.

It points to the many high profile cases of fraud and the ability of people that had been entrusted with public confidence to decieve and how they came to risk it all. Many stepped up to the plate with strong statements in court or to the media professing their innocence, stating that "they never" one example is congressional testimony from sports stars that "I have never used steroids."

The reading of these cases will sensitize the reader to schemes and thought processes of those that perpetrate white collar crime. Profit Without Honor is perfect for those of us interested in the study of Applied Ethics and the complexities of making the right choice, the honorable choice and the choice that is best for the community and not for personal profit. Fast, interesting and informative read.

I utilize Profit Without Honor as one of the required textbooks in an college course I teach at Herkimer County Community College entitled CJ 122: Intoduction to Economic Crime Investigation.

I find the book is quite comprehensive, extensively researched and very well written. There is just enough theoretical foundations along with a true plethora of historical and recent examples to educate and inform. My students have received the book very well, commenting that while it is far reaching it is also a fairly easy "read" that isn't to confusing or overwhelming. It's my opinion that Profit Without Honor is an excellent introductory text to aquaint the casual reader or the student with the far reaching, comprehensive nature of economic crime, white collar crime and fraud present today.

I look forward to a third edition when recent incidents such as Enron, Arthur Anderson, WorldCom etc. would hopefully be addressed.

As a side note, the fraud realted quotes from motion pictures that serve as chapter headings are hilarious! (i.e. Teacher: What is the capital of Nebraska? First Student: Lincoln. Teacher: Right. Who freeded the slaves? Second Student: Lincoln Teacher: Right. Charles Keating cooked the books at what S&L? Third Student: Lincoln?)


A great book!

PROFIT WITHOUT HONOR combines immaculate scholarship, penetrating insight, and a witty and engaging style of writing. Readers will find material that will trigger righteous indignation, and insights that will make them nod in agreement and wonder why they hadn't thought of that. The authors provide a vast array of information on white-collar offenses that challenges current concentration on street law-breaking as the most serious crime problem in the United States.
