The term ‘white-collar crime’ originated back in the 1930s and described fraud, forgery, embezzlement, and other types of crimes committed by business people. They typically wore white shirts under their suits, hence the term ‘white-collar.’ These often involved wealthy, high-profile people in the community and created major scandals.

In contrast, blue collar crimes were those that occurred on the street and were committed by working-class people, many of whom worked in warehouses, on manufacturing lines, and in retail or grocery stores and restaurants. Common criminal charges that often fall into this category include:

• Shoplifting;
• Burglary;
• Armed robbery;
• Vandalism;
• Public intoxication;
• Disturbing the peace;
• Drug crimes;
• Prostitution;
• Assault and battery;
• Sexual assault;
• Arson;
• Fraud;
• Attempted homicide and murder.
