“White collar crimes” are distinguished from other types of crimes in that they typically involve some sort of fraud and do not involve violence. Depending on the nature of the crime, a white collar crime can involve breaking not only Wisconsin laws, but also federal laws, resulting in prosecution by both state and federal officials.

There are several different crimes that are labeled white collar crimes such as:
In many cases white collar crimes involve more than one crime. For example, identity theft may be accompanied by computer fraud and bank fraud. Investment fraud may also involve mail fraud.
Since white collar crime schemes often involve more than one crime, conviction on all charges could add up to a significant number of years in prison.
