Article evaluation
I chose the page white collar crime to evaluate. thought the information was laid out well and easy to follow. The list of the longest sentences for these made me angry. Richard Marin Scrushy got 7 years for $2,800,000,000 in losses where we have people who got caught with marijuana getting more than that. There are a few specifics I thought would be good to add. I did not see anything for extortion which is also a section of white collar crime. I found this list on the FBI website. Health care fraud Human trafficking International and domestic public corruption Narcotics trafficking Terrorism This list is also from the FBI website and talks about ways money is laundered. Financial institutions International trade Precious metals Real estate Third party service providers Virtual currency There are some statistics from the website https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=tp&tid=33 which is the Bureau of Justice Statistics that could be helpful as well for this page. The main question I have is why do most of these criminals get lower sentences if they are fully prosecuted as well. Are there reliable statistics for this? There is so much more information that could be added. This page does appear to be neutral and the references work.
