WHITE COLLAR JOBS---WHITE COLLAR CRIMES- CORRUPTION AND BLACK MONEY PAVES IN-HOW TO TACKLE?

M. O. Mathai, Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru’s Special Assistant, in his Book “ Reminiscences of the Nehru Age” quoted “ all politicians are like squirrels… and that no mater how old the squirrel is, it will never give up climbing.” I am of the opinion that these words are found to be equally suited to the white collar crimes and to its perceptual.

He, who knows his mother, knows his god; he who is free from debt is the richest man in the world. IN MY CONSIDERED VIEWS,THIS QUOTATION IS ONLY APPLIES TO PERSONNEL WHO ARE HONEST AND SINCERE TO THE CORE AND NOT TO OTHERS AS THEY HAVE DO NOT MAINTAIN AND LIVE ON""manam and abhimanam"... 

“white collar crime”-In the present days of living, the word-white collar crime—brought out to lime light, by  Mr. E. H. Sutherland, as back as in 1940s, is found to be changing its trend ,fashion and bounds. It was termed to mean          ” approximately a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his legitimate occupation”.

In its 47th Report, the Law Commission termed it as” a crime which is committed in the course of once occupation by a member of the upper class of society”.

Honorable Union Minister, Mr. P.Chidamabaram as back as in 1988,while inaugurating the second annual vigilance officer’s conference at Chennai said—‘the virus of corruption appeared to envelop the whole fabric of society and when some people tended to be corrupt, even the honest people became suspect’.( The Indian Express- Daily News Paper- Hyderabad Edition, dated 22^nd March,1988).

The age old proverb continues to be up spring—“while honesty knock and waits at the door, the bribery enters in...”

It was said that any ruffian can defy the boss, the prince with impunity, and an imbecile in power sacks worthy men also if they dislikes or get them out of their division/or the zone. They also whisper that the power politics with in the department prevail. They grumble to the extent that ‘A cur that prefers to bite a shoe does not know the taste of sugar cane’.

How to deal such personalities? This is the question honestly posed by some intellectuals. Referring to some of their known officials, they said the administration, found to be finding it difficult to post such officials continuously at one place and that the other officers have even gone to the extent of rejecting the postings of such officials under them, When such was the situation, how to tackle them and curb such mal practices being adopted by such persons.

Some of them suggested that the unwarranted personalities of such nature having white collar criminality should be fished out exposed with full history of their activities and to be dealt harshly. All such persons faces to be shown openly, with out covering their faces with black bags, make them to be known and alert the authorities with wide publicity to make beware of them, to identify them, to crush them with iron hand, confiscate their properties, ill gotten money, seize the bank deposits and the like.

They continued to state that the Law to be amended to frame them and to suit to such personalities, and by hook or crook to eliminate them once for all from the department without any mercy.

It felt by them that, they are like cobwebs and cancerous to the society and to the department, in fact to the society it self. There shall be a separate department to deal such people, officers. The ill gotten wealth and luxurious properties, lands, and the like are to be brought to books to be used for other welfare purposes.

Some of the officials who are not out spoken and stick only to the assigned work found to be having a feeling that the lower cadre are dealt with severely while the higher ups are pushed aside, side lined and dealt very leniently by safe guarding the cadre officials, in the name and style of departmental rules, lacunae in the enquiry and/or no proper evidence and the like. The image of the department depends on their activities, as they are holding high level positions and ranks. The image is in their hands.

The honest handles the matter and look at them in haste and evaluate them as they stand very low rated personalities, and at times equalizes them to that of the criminal minded, or the criminal in uniform.

This engulfed matter seems to be is nothing but due to timely inaction, late reaction by the top officials who happens to work under no pressure and not serious on time bound factors to be complied with by other higher authorities.

The belief of the reformers, if any is still sinking. For this type of working system who is to be blamed? The department or the personnel involved or the top officials who just over look on suIt was said that any ruffian can defy the boss, the prince with impunity, and an imbecile in power sacks worthy men also if they dislikes or get them out of their division/or the zone. They also whisper that the power politics with in the department prevail. They grumble to the extent that ‘A cur that prefers to bite a shoe does not know the taste of sugar cane’.

The grime with fantasia fangs; the whole image is alarmingly becoming infected, and shall be damaged like germicide penetrating through its personnel, if no check mate is put in time.

It is having very long backing and recognized that the white collar crime as the most dangerous thing to the society and to the economic pattern and spreads like cancer. But, still for all, it is found to be occupying its high position through several steps and ranks, penetrate in to the minds of the corrupt and settles down and continues to dominate all others by way of influence, power, authority, status and money. It was a question as to how to eliminate it and destroy it permanently from the minds of such corrupt persons and make them to respect the country, the Law and make them to become honest to the core. It is observed that the white collar criminal activity engulfed in the minds of the personnel in such a way that it has gone to the extent for infraction in all levels and at many stages and to be managed at any cost.

Even if some good advice comes from higher authority, the well wishers, it rarely deters the cupidity and that their mind not changed. They always find themselves in good humor; find loop holes and search for escape clauses to come out from the misdeeds. The career continues until they are put behind the bars or firmly dealt with under some type of departmental action with a determined object to weed them out from the department. But again, It is observed is some such cases too, they spend huge amounts they earned to get the case viewed leniently and to set aside the punishments and the like. This is the vicious circle system and the backstreet analogical things are found to be going on.
