| | Intelligence Analysis of White Collar Crime |
| | Conspiracy is still a specific intent crime, so "purposively" must be used, not just knowledge, although there's a whole string of case law indicating erosion in this area. | | | He defined it as "a crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of his occupation." As Sutherland saw it, the rich were engaged in a conspiracy to use their position for personal gain without regard to the law. | | | Because a conspiracy by itself is treated almost as a substantive crime in itself, this is the only inchoate offense that the law permits a person to be charged with in addition to the target crime (that is, a person can be charged with both the crime and conspiracy to commit the crime). |

| | First of all, existing criminal laws already cover persons who engage in criminal conspiracy or who acts as accessories to crimes. | | | Similarly, existing federal and state laws criminalize simple possession of firearms in connection with a crime. | | | Both ordinances would make it a crime even for a parent to lend his or her paint gun to a 17-year-old who was driving to play paintball in Cripple Creek (where a nationally-known paintball facility is located), or at the indoor paintball "Adventure Game" facility in Aurora. |
