| Description | When Edwin Sutherland presented his premise of white-collar crime and the criminals who committed it, one group of violations discussed were war crimes. He specifically mentioned violations of embargo and neutrality laws, believing that understanding war crimes revealed a preference for profit over $patriotism.^{1}$ These types of violations go back to the earliest administrations with the nation dealing with its first embargo violations in 1807 under the government of Jefferson. Yet prior to the embargo legislation, the fledgling republic's first president, George Washington, had issued a proclamation in an attempt to address international neutrality issues as early as $1793.^{2}$ This proclamation was built on the principle that a neutral state was bound to refrain from interfering in a war between two powers when both of which were at peace with that neutral state. In attempting to prevent citizens of the United States from aiding in the hostilities, it would focus on the export of goods from the United States versus the importation of $goods.^{3}$ Though charged and prosecuted under the neutrality statutes, the violations were simply another form of smuggling—the illicit import or export of $goods.^{4}$ Book Name: American Smuggling as White Collar Crime |
