White-collar crime has been marketed - billions of dollars have been put in to have us be bored by it.

The possibility of bringing white-collar criminals to justice is ever receding over the horizon.

The U.S. is supposed to be a nation of second chances, but for the 70 million Americans with a criminal record, we're not doing such a great job. Even among those whose crimes were nonviolent and committed long ago, too many still bear a scarlet letter.

My father used to always say to me that, you know, if a guy goes out to steal a loaf of bread to feed his family, they'll give him 10 years, but a guy can do white-collar crime and steal the money of thousands and he'll get probation and a slap on the wrist.

If we were really tough on crime, we'd do more to stop it from happening in the first place.

'White Collar' is a show about the unlikely pairing of an FBI agent and an ex-con solving smart, glamorous, interesting and provocative crimes in a sometimes very funny way.

Perhaps the world's second-worst crime is boredom; the first is being a bore.

There is no city in America that has reduced crime as much as we have in the last three years. This is not the product of accident. This is the product of design.

The stark reality is that crime happens in communities of color.
