Abstract

Razvijanjem gospodarstva u nekoj državi, povećavaju se i izgledi da će se u tom aspektu počinjavati više kaznenih djela. Kriminal bijelih ovratnika fenomen je koji se javlja u 20. stoljeću, a interes za njega postepeno raste kroz godine. Iako se pojavio velik broj radova koji se bavi navedenom temom, njegova definiranost kao i podjele još uvijek su kompleksne. U svakoj državi će definiranje kaznenih djela kriminala bijelih ovratnika ovisiti o zakonodavcu, što otežava njegovo stvarno praćenje i uspoređivanje. Kazneno djelo zlouporabe položaja i ovlasti jedno je od koruptivnih kaznenih djela protiv službene dužnosti te je posljednjih godina bilo među najbrojnijim prijavljenim kaznenim djelima gospodarskog kriminala u Hrvatskoj. Ovo kazneno djelo prema svojim obilježljima uvelike odgovara većini definicija kriminala bijelih ovratnika, stoga je na njega napravljen poseban osvrt. Glavni cilj ovog rada je približiti i bolje objasniti pojam kriminala bijelih ovratnika, kaznena djela koja mu pripadaju te problem tamne brojke koji se veže uz ovu vrstu kriminala. Osviještenost o ovoj problematici kod javnosti raste, ali se ljudi uglavnom suzdržavaju od uplitanja u same prijave. Uspješnoj borbi protiv kriminala bijelih ovratnika pomoći će bolje razumijevanje samog pojma i njegova utjecaja na društvo, što se kroz ovaj rad nastoji predstaviti.

Abstract (english)

With the development of the economy in a country, the chances that more crimes in that aspect will be committed, also increase. White-collar crime is a phenomen that emerged in the 20th century and interest in it has gradually grown over the years. Although, a large number of papers dealing with the mentioned topic have appeared, its definition and classification are still complex. In each country, the definition of white-collar crime offenses will be up to the legislature, making it difficult to actually track and compare it. The criminal offence of abuse of position and authority is one of the corrupt criminal offenses against official duties, and in recent years it was among the most numerous reported criminal offences of economic crime in Croatia. This crime, according to its characteristics, largely corresponds to most definitions of white-collar crime, therefore, a special review was made on it. The main goal of this work is to bring closer and explain better the concept of white-collar crime, the crimes that belong to it, and the problem of the dark figure associated with this type of crime. Public awareness of this issue is growing, but people generally refrain from interfering with the reports themselves. The successful fight against white-collar crime will be helped by a better understanding of the term itself and its impact on society, which this paper tries to present.
