Political crime is an illegal offense against the state with the intention of affecting its political or economic policies, or an illegal domestic or international offense by the state and its agents. Political crime is conceptualized as individual, occupational, and organizational. Individual political crimes benefit individuals. Occupational crimes, occurring within the context of agents’ legitimate occupations, also benefit individuals. Organizational political crimes benefit the organization as a whole rather than specific individuals
