ABSTRACT
This study examines the relationship between corporate crime and technology, concentrating on the increase in white-collar crimes during the digital age. The main goal is to comprehend how technological developments have made it easier for new types of corporate wrongdoing to occur while simultaneously providing cutting-edge methods for detection and prevention. We carried out a thorough analysis of current case studies, legislative frameworks, and technical instruments used in the fight against corporate crime using a mixed-methods approach. While qualitative interviews with industry professionals offered insights into the operational issues and ethical considerations involved, quantitative data was analysed to find trends and patterns in the occurrence of digital white-collar offences.
The results show a marked rise in insider trading, intellectual property theft, and financial crime enabled by cyberspace, which is linked to the spread of advanced hacking methods and digital platforms. The study also emphasises how technology can be a tool for crime as well as a vital tool for forensic investigations and legal compliance. The study comes to the conclusion that a comprehensive approach that includes strong legal guidelines, cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, and ongoing stakeholder participation is necessary to reduce the dangers related to technology-driven corporate crime. The purpose of these insights is to provide guidance on best practices for preserving the integrity of digital economic activity to company leaders, legislators, and technology developers.
