The breaking of law is considered as a wrong in every society. In India, crimes are administered under Indian Penal Code, 1860. However, in today’s world crime is distinguished by color i.e. white collared crime and blue collared crime. A blue collared crime is any crime which is committed by an individual from a lower social class. It is opposite to white-collar crime which is associated with crime committed by someone of a high class. However, while blue-collar crime has no official legal classification, it holds to a general net group of crimes. These crimes are primarily of small scale, which is committed for immediate beneficial gain to the individual or group involved in them. This can also include personal related crimes that can be driven by immediate reaction, such as during fights or confrontations. These crimes also include Narcotic production or distribution, sexual assault, theft, burglary, assault or murder.
