This what I came up with so far. The highlighted info has to be discussed in the paper.

 There are several subjects that can be discussed in the criminology. Some topics in criminology would include victimology, violent crime, and public order crime. The researcher has selected the topic of white collar crimes. The researcher will explore why this topic needs to be researched, explain what the intended out will be from the research, and how the research will be conducted.

 

First, the research will explain why this topic needs to be researched. White collar crimes needs to be researched because it has a huge effect of in society. White collar crimes are not victimless crimes in no way. These scams will not only just cause business to file for bankruptcy it will also devastate families which can lead to divorce.  There are all different types of white collar crimes the people commit such as Health care fraud, identity thief, Insurance fraud, money laundering, and that’s just naming a few of types of white collar crime. White collar crimes are not being committed by your average criminals and thieves. These crimes will not make the companies go bankrupt it will also force all them employees to be without a job.

 

The researcher intended outcome of the research will the readers a chance to think and decide if they feel that white collar crime punishments are too harsh or too lenient. In this research we will the researcher will not just present information on white collar crimes but other crimes as well. In this investigation
