When The Lunch Lady Steals Your Lunch Money with Emily Azzarito
Ever thought about your school Lunch Lady? Do you think she was capable of crime? Maybe she even stole your lunch money…
This episode of Fraudish, Kelly is joined by Emily Azzarito, to discuss her insightful paper “Lunch Ladies and Pink-Collar Crime.” Emily shares her personal journey from classical musician to attorney, and the inspiration behind her paper, which explores cases like the New Canaan lunch ladies and high-profile women such as Martha Stewart and Elizabeth Holmes. The conversation delves into why women are often trusted implicitly in the workplace, the misconceptions surrounding female white-collar criminals, and the need for more nuanced views on gender and trust in financial crimes.
