Preferred term

crime as work  

Definition

  • Most research on work focuses on activity done for pay within the legal labor market, yet the underground economy generates hundreds of billions of dollars a year in revenue, and many individuals make a living through the illegal sale of goods and services, theft, fraud, and other criminal activities. For many, crime pays. [Source: Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia; Crime as Work]
