Abstract

One form of multiplicity describes intervention in cases of white collar or elite occupational deviance. The relationship between an elite peer control body interacting with an elite deviant is one of greater social commonality and equality than the relationship between the criminal justice system and the lower-status deviant. Regardless of the mixed or singular form of lower-status deviance, one of the major differences between intervention of multiple control agencies upon elite and lower-status deviance is that intervention of multiple formal social control bodies in lower-status deviance involves solely external control agencies. The awareness and intensity between multiple social control agencies acting upon cases of elite deviance may be less than that between multiple agencies acting upon cases of lower-status deviance. There are few studies of the interactions between multiple control bodies and the outcomes of multiply controlled cases of elite deviance. A noteworthy exception shows disparate responses by separate control agencies.
