E-Governance and White Collar Crime Control

White collar crime has proliferated in the modern civilization due to lack of information availability. It has led to financial loss, social loss, and declining moral ethics. E-governance will achieve the crime control by democratizing information, making the government schemes effective and efficient, and introducing transparency. This paper covers the drivers of the white collar crime and how e-governance can help curb the crime. A case in point of Land Records in India helps illustrate the benefits of the e-governance and it’s applicability to curb white-collared crime by making the process transparent, accountable, and citizen-friendly. Finally, the paper discusses on how to measure the effectiveness of e-governance initiatives from the white collar crime reduction perspective
