What is worse blue collar or white collar crime?

Both has aspects of them which can be considered worse than aspects of the other. Perhaps the biggest pitfall of white collar crime is that it's prosecuted and punished much less and much less vigorously than blue collar crime... you can embezzle millions, destroy the life savings of many people and take away what they've worked their whole lives for, and you'll receive a light sentence at a federal prison. Steal a couple hundred Dollars (if even that much) through more direct means, and you'll receive a significantly longer sentence in a state prison.


How many credits is needed to obtain a degree in criminology?

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

For example, if you attempt a first degree felony, it is classified as a second degree felony. If you attempt a second degree felony, it is classified as a third degree felony, and so on.
