Which term refers to non-violent crime for financial gain?

• A. White Collar Crime
• B. Types of Crime
• C. Guided Learning Hours
• D. Contact time

Answer: (A)

Crimes committed by professionals in business or trusted positions for financial gain are described as white-collar crime. This term captures offenses driven by money rather than physical violence, often involving deception, misrepresentation, or abuse of a position of trust. Examples include fraud, embezzlement, false accounting, insider trading, and money laundering. The focus is on the financial motive and the non-violent nature, typically unfolding within corporate or professional settings.

The other terms don’t describe a type of crime: one is a broad category that doesn’t specify the nature of the offense, while the remaining two are education-related terms rather than crime types.
