The term "white-collar crime" was reportedly coined in 1939 by Professor Edwin Sutherland, and today it can refer to anything from elaborate health care frauds to government contracting scams. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has a keen eye in tracking such matters, and this website provides ample information on their activities. The first thing visitors should check out is the "Don't Be Cheated" area. Here visitors can take a test of their fraud awareness and also learn about common frauds. Moving along, the site also contains a "Quick Facts" area, and a section of "Interesting Cases". For journalists, the "Cases in the News" area will be particularly noteworthy, as they feature links to recent white-collar crime cases from around the country. The site is rounded out by the "Get Our News" area, where visitors can sign up for their RSS feed and email updates.
