The recent developments that have generated widespread concern for white-collar crime in the United States are remediation agreements using the criminal code. It is stated that the purpose of the new agreement is to provide a variety of factors including promoting voluntary disclosure of corporate criminal wrongdoing; denouncing wrongdoing and providing reparations to victims; imposing proportionate penalties that deter further wrongdoing; ensuring the implementation of corrective measures by the organization and the development of a culture of compliance; and minimize negative collateral consequences for innocent stakeholders, such as employees (Remediation Agreements and Other Recent Developments in White Collar Crime, n.d.) White-collar crimes have created a widespread of victimization. The victimization has led to a large variety of ramifications for those involved.
