DATE : July 31, 2020 Name of the Researcher: Richa Kumari Singh 5 www.whiteblacklegal.co.in ISSN: 2581-8503 ABSTRACT White-collar crime refers to financially motivated, non-violent crime committed by businesses and government professionals. White collar crime bleeds over into corporate crimes because crimes such as fraud, forgery, insider trading, bribery, computer crimes are more available to the white collar employees, these are usually committed by government employees and professionals, Though White Collar Crime is almost in every corporate institution be it Insurance Company, but the main matter of concern for the author is White collar crime in Health Care sector. White Collar Crimes that can take place in medical and health care sector:- Making false medical certificates by the doctors Fake and intended prolong the treatment in order to increase the bills Sex determination of child by the doctors on the compulsion of the patient to gain money Sale of sample medicines which are not allowed to the chemists The rate at which white collar crimes are increasing has become a matter of concern globally. It has been found that the detriment that white collar crimes cause to society is much more than other forms of crime, it is impacting a large no of people in the society as well. This can be prevented by uploading the data of fake doctors so that patient can be more careful, or by visiting each doctor on the ground to their registration biometric details along with the copies of their medical degrees. Presently India does not have any special law regarding white collar crime, presently IPC has certain provisions which keeps an eye on this topic. Indian government must improve governance and take strict action against the offenders. Comptroller Auditor General is showing the way forward, the need of the hour is for political parties to have the spirit to clean up the mess. The private sector must implement fraud prevention measures and focus on ethics to reduce frauds. Both sectors have to collaborate to minimize fraud risks in India. MAIN MANUSCRIPT “Let not the mighty and rich think that courts are their paradise and in the legal arena they are the dominant players”. (Supreme Court of India)1 1 Rathinam v. State of Tamil Nadu &Anr, (2011) 11 SCC 140. 6 www.whiteblacklegal.co.in ISSN: 2581-8503 INTRODUCTION The intent of this research paper is to analyze the various medical and health care frauds which are prevalent in the society for so long and to interconnect it with white collar crimes, to understand the scenario and to put forward the measures which can be taken to eradicate such practices. People trust the medical practitioners and if any malfunctioning takes place there the trust and security will fall down. HISTORY Society is changing very frequently also the law is changing with it, we Have seen that of late the activities of stat have multiplied to great extent. State is no longer a police state and this shift from police state to welfare state has contributed in large increase in the state activities. It has opened a new vista for state activity. These changes have had their effect on the penal laws2. A few types of crime have become obsolete and many new form of crime have taken different dimensions in the present scenario. Dating back to history, it is an undaunted fact that ever since human being stated living together commission of crime has erupted, White Collar Crime is not a new phenomenon. In the ancient and Medival literatures of India felt that there was an age when ‘Dharma’ prevailed in perfection but gradually ‘Adharma’ made its headway giving rise to the tendencies like theft, fraud, etc. The history of India’s first major corporate crime dates back to 1957, when LIC v. hari Das Mundhra3 had shaken the country with then government constituting Justice Chagla commission of inquiry had made certain critical observations regarding dubious dealings in the public sector institutions. LIC bought 1.24 crores of fraudulent stocks in six companies owned by Haridas Mundhra, this was the largest investment of LIC’s history, later on Harshad Mehta’s Scam, Satyam Scam, Sahara fraud had come under spotlight forcing the central govt. to formulate laws for ethical corporate governance4. MEANING OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME (WCC) These are the non-violent crimes that involve deceit, corruption, and breach of trust usually out of greed. White collar crime bleeds over into corporate crimes because crimes such as fraud, 2 Mahesh Chandra, socio economic offences24(1979). 3 https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1450436/, last visted 15.07.20. 4 Mohit Kar, White Collar Crime – A fast emerging trend in India, Centre for Criminal Law, NUSRL, Ranchi. 7 www.whiteblacklegal.co.in ISSN: 2581-8503 forgery, insider trading, bribery, computer crimes are more available to the white collar employees, these are usually committed by government employees and professionals. FEATURES OF WCC 1. WCC are crimes committed by the people of high class and status in the society such as government officials, doctors, advocates, charted accountants and other professional’s businessmen etc. and not by a layman and hardcore criminals. 2. Means of crime differ from the traditional crimes as fraud, misrepresentation, adulteration, malpractices, irregularities etc. 3. These are the crimes committed by means and planned conspiracies without any feelings and sentiments. 4. The victim of WCC is normally the major section of the society or even the entire nation besides the individual who has done that. 5. The financial losses from the WCC to the society are probably greater than the financial losses from burglaries, robberies and larcenies committed by persons of lower socio- economic class. WHITE COLLAR CRIME AS A TREND High profile fugitives who made their fortune using public money have fled with the proceeds of the crime to overseas countries. There are many instances like Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksey and many more. As things are emerging, White Collar Crime is spreading its wing not only in the developed world like USA, but in emerging economies like India as well. WHITE COLLAR CRIME IN HEALTH CARE SECTOR / MEDICAL PROFESSION Health care fraud is not a victimless crime. The diversion of funds due to fraud drives up the costs of providing a full range of legitimate medical services and may foster mechanisms designed to recoup these losses. These efforts may result in reduced benefit coverage, changes in eligibility for programs such as Medicaid, higher premiums for individuals or their employers, or higher copays. Physicians may perform unnecessary procedures to increase reimbursement, compromising patient safety. When medical providers bill for services never rendered, they create a false medical history for patients that may later cause them difficulty in obtaining disability or life insurance policies. An inaccurate medical history may also influence treatment decisions and allow some 8 www.whiteblacklegal.co.in ISSN: 2581-8503 insurance companies to deny coverage based on a previous medical condition.

  • False Statements and Perjury: an Overview of Federal Criminal Law
    False Statements and Perjury: An Overview of Federal Criminal Law Charles Doyle Senior Specialist in American Public Law May 11, 2018 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov 98-808 False Statements and Perjury: An Overview of Federal Criminal Law Summary Federal courts, Congress, and federal agencies rely upon truthful information in order to make informed decisions. Federal law therefore proscribes providing the federal courts, Congress, or federal agencies with false information. The prohibition takes four forms: false statements; perjury in judicial proceedings; perjury in other contexts; and subornation of perjury. Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, the general false statement statute, outlaws material false statements in matters within the jurisdiction of a federal agency or department. It reaches false statements in federal court and grand jury sessions as well as congressional hearings and administrative matters but not the statements of advocates or parties in court proceedings. Under Section 1001, a statement is a crime if it is false, regardless of whether it is made under oath. In contrast, an oath is the hallmark of the three perjury statutes in Title 18. The oldest, Section 1621, condemns presenting material false statements under oath in federal official proceedings. Section 1623 of the same title prohibits presenting material false statements under oath in federal court proceedings, although it lacks some of Section 1621’s traditional procedural features, such as a two-witness requirement. Subornation of perjury, barred in Section 1622, consists of inducing another to commit perjury. All four sections carry a penalty of imprisonment for not more than five years, although Section 1001 is punishable by imprisonment for not more than eight years when the offense involves terrorism or one of the various federal sex offenses.

One will consider domains where individual behavior presents some stable characteristics over time, and where the individual actions can be observed through events in a data stream. Event patterns will be characterized and used as a proxy to individual behavior and actions. As in many domains, behavior does not remain static but evolves over time; one will therefore consider the sliding window model, making the assumption that behavior is stable during the considered time window. This work will cover the detection of the specific characteristics of the individual and what distinguishes his behavior from that of all other individuals.

  • Auction Fraud Detection Using SVM-Based Supervised Learning
    AUCTION SHILL DETECTION FRAMEWORK BASED ON SVM A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science in Computer Science University of Regina By Swati Ganguly Regina, Saskatchewan December, 2016 Copyright 2016: Swati Ganguly UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Swati Ganguly, candidate for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science, has presented a thesis titled, Auction Shill Detection Framework Based on SWM, in an oral examination held on December 9, 2016. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Eman Almehdawe, Faculty of Business Administration Supervisor: Dr. Samira Sadaoui, Department of Computer Science Committee Member: Dr. Malek Mouhoub, Department of Computer Science Committee Member: Dr. Lisa Fan, Department of Computer Science Chair of Defense: Dr. Yang Zhao, Department of Mathematcis and Statistics ABSTRACT Online auctioning has attracted serious in-auction fraud, such as shill bidding, given the huge amount of money involved and the anonymity of users. Due to the fact that shill bidding is difficult to detect as well as to prove, very few researchers have been successful in designing online shill detection systems that can be adopted by auction sites. We introduce an efficient SVM-based two-phased In-Auction Fraud Detection (IAFD) model. This supervised model is first trained offline for identifying ‘Normal’ and ‘Suspicious’ bidders. For this process, we identify a collection of the most relevant fraud classification features rather than uncertain or general features, like feedback ratings.

Lying, Misleading, and Falsely Denying: How Moral Concepts Inform the Law of Perjury, Fraud, and False Statements by STUART P. GREEN* Introduction The term "legal moralism" has traditionally referred to the view that it is permissible to use government sanctions, including criminal sanctions, to enforce prohibitions on conduct that is immoral but not directly harmful (or even offensive) to others or self. Legal moralists of this stripe thus embrace the anti-liberal view that the state may legitimately criminalize acts such as adultery, incest, and prostitution, even when performed in private by consenting adults.' In recent years, however, "legal moralism" has also come to mean something else. The term is now frequently used to refer to the view that, as Dan Kahan has put it, "law is suffused with morality and, ' Associate Professor of Law, Louisiana State University.

    U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 9 - Visas 9 FAM 40.21(A) N2 MORAL TURPITUDE 9 FAM 40.21(a) N2.1 Evaluating Moral Turpitude Based Upon Statutory Definition of Offense and U.S. Standards (CT:VISA-753; 06-29-2005) To render an alien ineligible under INA 212(a)(2)(A)(i)(I), the conviction must be for a statutory offense, which involves moral turpitude. The presence of moral turpitude is determined by the nature of the statutory offense for which the alien was convicted, and not by the acts underlying the conviction. Therefore, evidence relating to the underlying act, including the testimony of the applicant, is not relevant to a determination of whether the conviction involved moral turpitude except when the statute is divisible (see 9 FAM 40.21(a) N5.2) or a political offense (see 9 FAM 40.21(a) N10). The presence of moral turpitude in a statutory offense is determined according to United States law. 9 FAM 40.21(a) N2.2 Defining “Moral Turpitude” (CT:VISA-753; 06-29-2005) Statutory definitions of crimes in the United States consist of various elements, which must be met before a conviction can be supported. Some of these elements have been determined in judicial or administrative decisions to involve moral turpitude. A conviction for a statutory offense will involve moral turpitude if one or more of the elements of that offense have been determined to involve moral turpitude. The most common elements involving moral turpitude are: (1) Fraud; (2) Larceny; and (3) Intent to harm persons or thing.
