Summary:Academic discussions in the Netherlands about the nature and ambiguity of white‐collar and corporate crime have dragged on for years. Empirical research started relatively late. Studies that address explanations mostly focus on the criminology of the market or the corporation.

A typical Dutch manifestation of organizational crime is the high level of entanglement of business and public administration.
