In March 2007 the Justice Department said the government brought 225.2 white collar crime prosecutions for every ten million people in the United States.

The districts registering the largest number of prosecutions per capita for these matters last month are shown in Table 3. Districts must have at least 5 white collar crime prosecutions to receive a ranking.
