Essay *watch movies required* 3-5 pages, 1.5 spacing

  Popular culture and media is often an effective way to study certain phenomena and fraud and white-collar crime is no different.  There are many good examples in which white-collar crime is presented in film, some of them dramatizations of actual events and others that are purely fictional.  In either case, many of these films can be an effective way to consider concepts such as moral ambiguity, immoral and illegal conduct, victimization, enforcement, policy, and jurisprudence.

For the purpose of this class, each student will select a film from a list provided, watch the film (you can rent it or stream it as a group), and write a research paper exploring the film and the portrayal of fraud and/or white-collar crime.  Your paper should be 3 to 5 pages, 12-point font, 1.5 spacing, and use headers, etc. for organization.  As appropriate, your paper should address:

           · Synopsis of the film; describe and analyze the fraud/crime committed in the   movie

Movie List

This list, while not necessarily comprehensive, provides a starting point for films that have portrayed white-collar crime and/or fraud.

Whether the film is based upon actual events or is purely a work of fiction, films such as these can bring us to a deeper understanding of white-collar crime, the conduct and character of the perpetrators, and the harm done to the victims.
