If you do, you'll be looking forward to our new Spring project in Huron County called "Your Corner of the Worle, and if you don't, why not join a club in your own community right away, so that you won't miss out on this delightful, brand- new project, "Your Corner of the World" deals with the club Member's bedroom. We are going to be looking at suitable floor plans, choosing colour schemes in which you will co-ordinate fabric for floor coverings, drapes, wall coverings and accessories for your bedroom. Club members, as well, will be working on macrame as a craft and completing a sampler of knots. Then, each member will have a chance to put their new-found talent into practice by making a free-choice article which can be an accessory for the bedroom or an accessory for themselves. Macrame is not a hard craft. It is very easy to learn, and I am sure that for those who have done it before, will find it a very relaxing and enjoyable hobby • Members will be becoming interior designers in their own right by making a design collection of their favourite pictures which could apply to a bedroom, and which will show their likes and dislikes, and definite tastes in' home decorating. For leaders, as well, this course offers a good in- troduction to interior design, and, hopefully, they will be able to get as much out of the Most people tend to, think of crime in terms of violence. Yet over the last ten years, violent crimes have con- sistently been a small por- tion of all criminal activity in Canada, Criminal Code offenceS include '75 percent of all crimes, including almost all those categorized as major. In 1977, only 6,1 percent of reported Code offences were violent: 0,1 percent were property crimes, The vast majority of violent cases (75 percent) consisted of assaults; with the major portion of these arising out of domestic disputes or arguments between acquaintances. In the last ten years, property crimes have been increasing in proportion to other criminal activity. One area of particular concern is what is known as "white collar crime." Shoplifting is estimated to cost Canadians $300 - $400 million annually; vandalism costs over $100 million a year; white collar crime accounts for an enormous $5 billion an- nually. In the United States, the national Chamber of . Commerce in 1974 estimated• that white collar crime accounted for losses of ap- proximately $40 billion annually. More recent estimates place the current figure at $50 billion. Unlike violent crime, white collar criminal ac- tivities tend to receive little publicity, unless there is a trial involving a particularly sensational corporate swindle or an investigative media study into computer FOOD MARKET of fraud. Yet, as ' the U.S. President's. Commission on. Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice pointed out in 1967, "White collar crime affects the whole moral climate of our society. Derelictions 13'y . corporationS and their managers, who usually occupy leadership positions in their communities, establish an example which tends to erode the moral base of law." What On we say to people in lower socio-economic levels of our. society, who view law enforcement as directed almost exclusively at criminals of their own background, when crimes of similar and even greater impact on the public by members of the managerial and business world appear to go unchallenged? It's bad enough that they feel the deck is stacked against them - should they be made to feel that the system of law en- forcement and the ad- ministration of justice is stacked against them as well? There are, of course, special problems •to cope with in dealing with white collar crime: impact tends to be less dramatic and evident, being spread over numerous victims; per- petrators are usually in "high places" and cor- porations may downplay the problem for l fear it may be interpreted as an indication of poor managerial judgement and lack of in- tegrity among their senior representatives. Such criminal activity is often highly technical, and is usually perpetrated by persons with great knowledge and experience of the system they are trying. to beat: In many cases, the costs Of corporate crime are in- visible to the public and police eye. There are no broken , windows, no physically injured victims indicate that a erirne h a s been committed. When criminal activity is, ]StifSpected„ an investigation may take months, even years, taxing the. resources and Abilities of the best in- vestigators, The actual trial, if one ever results, only exacerbates the process further, with endless evidentiary problems, procedural pitfalls, etc. .4Itnost. inevitably, it. seems, the incidence of white collar crime will continue to increase, greatly. With the advent of the cashless society, in particular in- troduction of Electronic Funds Transfer Systenis, we .may well see a sharp drop in such crimes as cheque forgery, counterfeiting and perhaps • even street muggings, Crime will become more technical, more sophisticated.
