Antitrust laws were created with the purpose of protecting competition in the marketplace. Competition is seen as a positive thing because it helps consumers save money while simultaneously encouraging businesses to produce better products. Antitrust laws were meant to preserve competition by promoting consumer benefits, so when these laws are violated federal agencies take the situation very seriously because it directly harms the nation’s economy.
Antitrust violations are considered to be a type of white collar crime because they are frequently committed by individuals in corporate and business environments. The Sherman Antitrust Act, The Clayton Act, and The Federal Trade Commission Act were all put in place to protect the economy, and if a person is found to be in violation of any of these antitrust acts, they can face federal criminal charges.
