Abstract

According to Sutherland the principle difference between white-collar and lower-class crime is in the administrative segregation of white-collar criminals that allows them to be funneled away from the criminal justice system so that they are not viewed by researchers or the public as real criminals. As segregated deviants, they also benefit from the cloak of secrecy that surrounds their administrative outcomes. This paper examines inroads that have been made in requiring the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to publicize its disciplinary decisions and then contrasts it with the lack of transparency by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia. The author reflects on how Access to Information legislation can be used as a methodological strategy to uncover physicians’ misconduct and the pitfalls that await such an approach.
