Abstract
The article considers three specific strategies applied by white-collar crime attorneys can be identified. First, substance defense strategy is concerned with

when and how an attorney decides to defend the client in a substantive way. Often, the substantive defense starts at a much earlier stage than in a street crime

case. Second, information control strategy is concerned with what and how crucial information is controlled to make it difficult, and sometimes impossible, for

the police and prosecution to get the complete picture. Often, information control defense is able to keep secrets and to claim that pieces of information are

irrelevant. In police investigations, there are normally a number of information

sources, often more than a dozen, as we shall see in this chapter. Controlling and

limiting some source can cause the crime puzzle never to be solved in police

investigations. Third, symbolic defense strategy addresses all other means that

the attorney can apply to divert attention away from legal issues. An example is

to portrait the offender as a victim in the press.
