I was wondering, what tends to be the most successfully committed, and under punished, crime?

White-collar crimes are among the most commonly committed and least punished crimes. These crimes include fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, and computer crimes. According to a 2017 report from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, only 5.5 percent of cases involved individuals who reported a loss of at least $100,000 as a result of the crime. Even higher-stakes cases like tax evasion are often not punished harshly, partly due to the difficulty of prosecution. For example, former presidential adviser and Trump campaign figure Roger Stone was recently convicted of multiple counts of witness tampering, obstruction of justice, and false statements in relation to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation; his charges carried maximum sentences of 20 and 10 years, respectively. But despite sentencing guidelines recommending imprisonment of between 39 months and 78 months, Stone was only sentenced to three years and four months in prison. White-collar criminals continue to receive light sentences for crimes that carry immense economic costs for the victims, and society as a whole.
