How does Gerber's 1994 study explain what is perceived by some to be unusually high sentences for white-collar offenders?
a. White-collar offenders are sentenced according to federal guidelines.
b. A majority of white-collar offenders make it through the criminal justice process because there is substantial evidence against them, which leads to harsher sentences.
c. Only a small proportion of offenders receive extremely large prison sentences, raising the average dramatically and giving the perception that all white-collar offenders have particularly long sentences.
d. There are rarely high sentences for white-collar offenders who commit serious crimes when compared to conventional criminals.
