White Collar Crime

Pillai's White Collar Crime, revised by K. Prasad, offers a comprehensive examination of the complex and evolving landscape of economic and corporate crimes in India. The book explores the theoretical underpinnings and practical dimensions of white-collar offences, ranging from bribery, cheating, and criminal breach of trust to cybercrimes such as hacking, online fraud, and cyberstalking.

This revised edition has been meticulously updated to align with the recent legislative reforms introduced through the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, replacing the earlier IPC, CrPC, and Evidence Act. The inclusion of detailed comparative tables enables readers to easily correlate the old and new statutory frameworks, making this book an indispensable resource during the ongoing legal transition.
