Historically, common crimes (such as robbing a bank) were punished more severely than white collar crimes (like embezzlement). Why do you think that is? Since 2003, there has been a steady push to punish white collar crimes at least as severely as common crimes are punished. Do you feel that this is in the best interest of society? Should white collar crimes be punished more severely, less severely, or the same as comparable common crimes?

    They must be severely punished.

    Explanation:

    Common crimes earlier were more threat full to the society than any other act and that is the reason they were mentioned more.

    Since, the new era has new crimes, and one of the kind is white collar crimes which happens when companies' heads try to misguide people with false financial reports, adding more losses to avoid taxes and sometimes showing more profit to attract potential investors, now it has become even severe.

    Whichever the case, both crimes ultimately effect society and its stakeholders, however, common crimes are more frequent than white collar crimes.

    Hence, they must be severely punished because they are committing crimes under the disguise of an innocent professionals.
