Perhaps more obviously than in cities of United States home addresses of notorious white-collar criminals are in better residential neighborhoods. Whether incidence of these unrecorded crimes of upper class would show a rate equal to that of recorded crimes of lower class, or whether an index to bribe-taking activities of middle class in areas between would show as high a rate as either, it is not possible to say. It is purpose of this paper to describe and analyze criminogenesis in these central and peripheral zones.'
