		White collar crime does not hurt individuals and is not a deed of violence, therefore, it doesn’t make us fearful; we do not feel threatened and hardly see the consequences or feel the damage caused by it.
		However, as white collar crime grows and continues to victimize the public, an appropriate sentence should be determined depending on the extent of the financial or moral damage caused by the criminal rather than on sentiment.
		Generally recommending a more lenient penalty are those who perceive white collar criminals as individuals similar to themselves, as people who take care of their family and are sometimes needy.

	Sentencing of Corporate Fraud and White Collar Crimes
		Thus, I would urge caution on the Commission before it rushes to raise sentence levels further without any empirical data establishing its necessity.Especially in the white& area, where rational economic actors understand some of the risks attending criminal activity, such increases may not be required to achieve deterrence ends nor may they be “just.”
		Good morning Judge Murphy and Members of the Commission.Thank you for the opportunity to testify on the proposed amendment regarding corporate fraud and, more generally, about the nature of white-collar crime sentencing.
		I certainly yield to no one in my conviction that corporate offenders ought to be punished no differently then blue collar offenders when they deserve it.But it is fair to wonder whether equating corporate fraud with murder or treason truly captures the “just desert” component of criminal law.
