Cultural ties can influence, but not the main factor!

I’m really torn between criminal history and organizational opportunity. I know white-collar criminals often have no prior records, but does that mean criminal history is less important?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think it pointed towards social class being influential, but I’m leaning towards organizational opportunity for this one.

I feel like cultural ties might play a role too, but I can't recall any specific studies that emphasize it over organizational opportunity.

I think I remember that organizational opportunity is a big factor in white-collar crime, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the most determinant aspect.

Social class could also be a factor, since white-collar criminals tend to be from higher socioeconomic backgrounds. But I'm not sure if that's considered the "determinant" aspect, so I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

Organizational opportunity definitely seems like the most relevant answer here. White-collar criminals often exploit their positions of power and access within companies to commit their crimes.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know white-collar crime is often tied to organizational opportunities, but I'm not sure if that's considered the "determinant" factor. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This question seems straightforward, I think the key is to focus on the "determinant aspect" part and consider what factors are most influential in white-collar crime.

I'm going with D) Social class. Isn't that what white-collar crime is all about? The elite getting away with things the average person could never do?

True, but isn't it a mix of both? Social class shapes access to those opportunities.
