The major theoretical significance of white-collar crime lies in its ambiguity as simultaneously crime and not crime. This is symptomatic of a diversity of status systems peculiar to the social structure. Research can begin with the ambivalent attitudes of individuals to white-collar offenses and to the laws against them. Several studies revealed in businessmen a strikingly ambivalent attitude to price control and rationing and to violations of the regulations. Another study showed ambivalent attitudes on labor legislation among legislators. The function of law is to preserve peace in the face of these conflicts.

According to me social factors influencing white-collar crime include:
1. Greed and desire for more money or power.
2. Peer pressure from colleagues or a corrupt work environment.
3. Lack of strict regulations and oversight.
4. Opportunity, like having access to sensitive information or funds.
