الوصف: Comparative socio-legal and criminological research is notoriously complex due to the variety of languages, cultures and legal systems that exist across the globe. These issues are particularly pronounced in comparative white-collar crime research since terms like white-collar crime have no fixed legal meaning in any one country, let alone across multiple jurisdictions. Though currently in its infancy, comparative white-collar crime research is beginning to attract scholarly attention. This essay seeks to add to this emerging field by comparing responses to white-collar crime in the USA and Ireland, using quantitative data as well as qualitative, contextual analyses of both criminal justice landscapes. These analyses are used as a springboard for a critical reflection on the methodological challenges and opportunities that arise during comparative white-collar crime research. While the essay focuses on the US and Ireland, these issues can bedevil any scholar who seeks to compare their jurisdiction against an international exemplar.
