White collar is a non-violent criminal and someone that committed a financial fraud. These criminals usually use their power and sway themselves out from being prosecuted. These criminals are less likely to face criminal charges, than a working class person to facing prison time. The white-collar are usually charged with a fine for their crime as a punishment and they go back to their daily lives like nothing ever happened. Although, the working class will face prosecution, lose their jobs and social standing status. This is where social hierarchy plays a role in the criminal justice system.
