There are psychological, sociological, and biological theories concerning criminality and white-collar crime. By understanding how these theories interact the security manager can develop a policy to reduce potential opportunities for employees to engage in white-collar criminal activities. One key to controlling white-collar crime is that the employees know that honesty is monitored and rewarded and instances of theft and fraud have high probabilities of being discovered. Preventing white-collar crime is not so much about having sanctions and rules to follow but setting the right environment for the employees that does not allow opportunities for exploitation to take place (Coenen 2013). The security manager cannot control for or directly manipulate the biological foundations of crime in individuals but can produce an organizational environment that allows for learning of attitudes and behaviors that promote honesty and deter selfish and criminal behaviors.

new research is showing that there are a number of critical areas in the brain that may affect the likelihood of criminal behavior. Studies among PTSD patients, for instance, show that those with higher anxiety and deviant tendencies have smaller hippocampus regions. Other studies have shown that the corpus callosum, which coordinates right and left brain activity, may disconnect at times and cause information or senses to be mixed or awry between the hemispheres, resulting in lack of social conscious or potential for deviance.

This study involves a real-world analysis of noise sources and levels on an intensive care unit (ICU). The environmental sources of noise were shown to include equipment monitors, pagers, beepers, mechanical ventilators and so forth, but other environmental factors such as ambient lighting, building design and pharmacological interventions all play a role in affecting sleep patterns on the ICU.
