Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this research is toanalyze the role of gender in the commission of white collar
crimes and investigateit in f‌ive countries: Norway, Portugal,America, India and Iran.
Design/methodology/approach Descriptiveanalytical method is used in this article.
Findings A total of f‌ive observations were examined about the rank and percentage of womens

rank, 13%), India (rank 135, 11%) and Iran (rank 143, 5%). As is visually obvious, there seems to be no
relationship between the level of gender equality and the percentage of women involved in white-collar
crimes. However, accordingto Hobbs, in most research, the issue of gender and its effect on the occurrence of
white-collar crimes have not been addressed, but by using the limited statistics and limited information
