Crime of the Powerful

The "Crime of the Powerful" refers to illegal or unethical actions committed by individuals or entities with significant influence, resources, or authority, often to serve their own interests. These crimes can include corruption, white-collar fraud, abuse of power, or environmental violations, which tend to be less scrutinized or punished due to the perpetrators' status. Such crimes can undermine justice, distort markets, and harm society, yet they often receive less media attention and judicial consequences compared to crimes committed by less powerful individuals.
