What is Blue Collar Crime?

Blue collar crime refers to offenses typically committed by individuals of the working class. These crimes often involve physical force, property damage, or public misconduct, and are generally distinguished from white-collar crimes, which are non-violent and financially motivated.

While not a formal legal classification, blue collar crimes are more visible, frequent, and often prosecuted more aggressively due to the direct harm they cause to individuals or society.

Common Examples of Blue Collar Crimes in Pakistan

Blue collar crimes include a wide range of offenses, such as:

• Theft and Shoplifting

• Burglary and Robbery

• Vandalism and Property Damage

• Kidnapping

• Sexual Assault and Rape

• Drug Possession and Drug Dealing

• Prostitution and Gambling

These crimes are often committed spontaneously or out of necessity, and the accused may face swift arrest, harsh interrogation, and limited access to quality legal representation—a gap our firm is committed to filling.
