An Empirical Test of the Relationship Between Employee Theft and Low Self-Control
Although Gottfredson and Hirschi (1987, Citation1990) maintain that low self-control can account for white-collar/corporate offending, there have been few and inconclusive empirical tests in this area. One area of white-collar crime, in particular, which could benefit from an examination of the role of low self-control in predicting offending, is employee theft. Although employee theft is one of the more costly and pervasive crimes impacting the …

Illicit Prescription Drug Use among Pharmacists
On average, pharmacists spend six years in college studying the intricacies of prescription medicines and their effects on the human body. Upon graduation, they embark on a career where their expertise and familiarity with the proper use and dangers of prescription drugs continuously grows. Despite this wealth of experience, some pharmacists become prescription drug abusers. The present analysis uses interview data obtained from 50 recovering dru…
Deviance in the fast-food restaurant
Existing research suggests that employee deviance is highest in occupational settings that rely heavily on "marginal" workers—especially those who are young with little tenure—who believe that they are treated unfairly by their employers. As a test of this proposition, an anonymous survey was conducted among a two‐company national sample of 341 fast‐food restaurant workers. Three fifths of the respondents reported some level of personal involveme…
Hackers
In his book, Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution (Doubleday, 1984), Steven Levy documents the linguistic evolution of the word "hacker." He argues that among computer aficionados the term has been long used to express respect and admiration for another's superior computer programming expertise. In the last ten years (particularly among members of the law enforcement community), however, the concept has taken on an extremely negative connot…
Neutralizing in the workplace
Using Sykes and Matza's (1957) "techniques of neutralization" paradigm, an adult sample of 9,175 retail, hospital, and manufacturing employees were examined to assess the empirical relationship of the concept with both self‐reported property theft and counterproductive deviant behavior in the workplace. Although the direction of causal order cannot be determined conclusively, above‐average employee rule breakers are significantly more likely than…
The Process of Criminalization
Scholars are rarely afforded contemporary opportunities to study the formation of criminal law. This paper reviews state and federal efforts to criminalize various forms of computer abuse. The analysis indicates that there was neither organized opposition to nor significant interest group involvement in computer crime enactments. Individual reformers included computer crime “experts” and legislators rather than “moral entrepreneurs.” The media we…
A routine activities approach to suburban arson rates
Cohen and Felson's theory of “routine activities” is evaluated using 1980 arson rate data for 676 American suburbs. Influences of criminal motivation (percent poor, percent unemployed, percent black and percent youth), criminal opportunities (percent old housing, percent multiple housing and the number of commercial/industrial establishments), guardianship (police employment, police expenditure and female labor force participation) and ecological…
Black and White Suburban Population Growth Since World War Ii
This article examines the relationship between the percent black population, black population change, and white population change for American suburbs for the 1950 to 1980 period Linear, tipping point (curvilinear), and interaction models of white population change are evaluated for each decade controlling for several other suburban characteristics (age, annexation, and distance to the central business district). The analyses provide little suppo…
Theft by Employees
Acts against the workplace
Research into the phenomenon of workplace deviance has separately focused on two types of employee rule‐breaking behavior, 1) acts against the property and assets of the organization and 2) various types of counter‐productive behavior. In an attempt to compare the theoretical and empirical similarity of these two forms of employee deviance, this paper examines the self‐reported involvement in both property and production deviance among a populati…

Theft by Employees
Deterrence in the Workplace
The phenomenon of employee theft is examined empirically, utilizing a deterrence paradigm. Employees selected randomly from three different industry sectors and metropolitan areas were asked to self-report their involvement in a number of property theft activities within the employment setting. Using a weighted least-squares logit regression analysis, the study found that the perception of both the certainty and severity of organizational sanctio…
Corporate Crime
Employee Deviance
Inquiries into the nature of deviance in the employment setting have generally assumed (without much empirical support) that an important explanatory factor is the employee's perception regarding quality of the work experience. Testing the above hypothesis, this study examines self-report data from almost 5000 respondents in 35 midwestern corporations, concluding that both 'general' and more 'specific' measures of job satisfaction are significant…
Formal and Informal Social Controls of Employee Deviance
Using the phenomenon of deviance by employees against the rules of the formal work organization as the behavior of interest, the differential saliences of both formal (i.e., management) and informal (i.e., co-worker) sanction severity are empirically compared. As hypothesized, the perceived threat of informal sanctions by one's fellow co-workers explains both property deviance and production deviance far better than the perceived severity of the …
