In Other People’s Money, Donald R. Cressey examines the social and psychological factors behind embezzlement and financial fraud. Drawing from his research on white-collar crime, Cressey introduces his famous “fraud triangle,” which identifies three key factors that contribute to embezzlement: perceived pressure, perceived opportunity, and rationalization. The book explores the motivations of embezzlers and the organizational dynamics that enable financial fraud, offering valuable insights into the psychology of crime.
