Abstract
Red-collar crimes are a subset of white-collar crimes in which the perpetrator commits violence to avoid detection or prosecution. In other words, when a person is threatened with the discovery of a fraud, they resort to violent measures to silence the discoverer in order to prevent any further disclosure. Therefore, the threat of fraud detection acts as a motivation for these violent crimes. The purpose of this article is to examine the question of what are the patterns and attitudes of white-collar and red-collar criminals? This article is descriptive and analytical, and has investigated the mentioned question by using the library method. The findings indicate that red-collar crimes are increasing compared to other types of collar crimes such as black-collar crimes, blue-collar crimes, green-collar crimes, and pink-collar crimes. Fraud discoverer murder is also used to describe red-collar crime, and criminals are considered red-collar because they are both in the realm of white-collar crime and in the realm of violent crime. Most people mistakenly believe that red-collar crimes are separated incidents. Although many consider red-collar crimes to be crimes of passion, the real motive behind these violent and heinous acts is to cover up fraud.
