The document asks the student to summarize three criminal cases involving white collar crime, political crime, and organized crime. It instructs the student to describe each crime, explain the outcome and punishment, and assess if the punishments were justified. The student is also asked to use scholarly sources to support their explanations and follow APA style guidelines.

1. Find a true example of people being arrested for a White Collar
crime, a political crime, and a crime committed by
someone in organized crime. In 1200 words, explain the
following:
1. Briefly describe each of the crimes (who was involved, what
the crime was, who the victim was, etc.)
2. Explain the outcome of each case, including the punishment
and sentence given for each crime.
3. Explain if you feel the punishments for each of the crime
were justified. Were the punishments for
any of the crimes not fitting the seriousness of the crime? Why

punished in the ways they are?
