It is a crime committed by people from a lower social class, often just for personal gain, like a mugging or armed robbery. This differs from more sophisticated crimes such as embezzlement, which would be committed by people of a higher class on a larger scale and are referred to as white collar crime. Blue collar crime could be by an individual or a gang.

Both has aspects of them which can be considered worse than aspects of the other.

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.
