Convenience theory consists of three dimensions to explain white-collar crime. First, the economic dimension explains profit-oriented financial crime. Next, the organisational dimension explains legal access and cover-up activities. Finally, the behavioural dimension provides a number of explanations for deviant behaviours. The organisational dimension represents a challenge to corporate governance as trusted and privileged individuals in the organisation abuse their professional position to commit financial crime. A sample of 405 convicted white-collar criminals in Norway is introduced in this article to examine white-collar crime empirically in light of convenience theory.
