Abstract
This article addresses the following research question: What differences might be found

between white-collar criminals detected by internal procedures versus white-collar

criminals detected by external sources? This research is important, as studies of white-collar

criminals so far has focused on case studies rather than statistical analysis of a larger sample.

Based on articles in Norwegian financial newspapers for one year, a total of 57 white-collar

criminals convicted to jail sentence were identified. The average age of the convicted

persons was 51 years. 54 out of 57 criminals were men. The average sentence was 3 years

imprisonment. The average sum of money involved in the financial crime was 178 million

Norwegian kroner (30 million US dollars). 19 crime cases emerged from internal detection,

while 38 crime cases emerged from external detection. The average sum of money involved

in the financial crime was significantly higher in cases of external detection.
