"Myths That Cause Crime"/"Myths that Cause White-Collar Crime"

This started as an independent study class with my CCJS professor (CCJS 495) where we read the book, Myths that Cause Crime by Harold Pepinsky and Paul Jesilow. We would meet once a week and discuss the chapters we had read. We would also take notes and our only big assignment in this class was a paper on what our least favorite and favorite myth was. After that I continued doing this research with my professor and so far I have been working with him as research assistant for almost 2 years. This project is also in collaboration with another one of my CCJS professors. At first we had started with Myths that Cause Crime, similar to the book but it would be updated. Then it was decided to focus on one of the myths and in the future publish a "Very Short Introduction" book. From there we decided to focus on white-collar crime, thus Myths that Cause White-Collar Crime. This is the current work I am doing.

Below I will show work that I did starting since the beginning of the Independent Studies class (CCJS 495) to the present.
