It turns out that white collar crime is predominantly committed by white men. A system trained to detect white collar crime using, say, enron emails, might suggest a white guy's emails over someone whose name doesn't sound like an enron employee, or who shared pictures of their cat.
I mean, I suppose you can argue that hey, maybe that bias is usually correct. Maybe it usually is the white guy. But personally, I'd probably control for things conflated with gender or race and then look for indicators that differentiate between criminals and innocent people. You will probably have a lower AUC, but better differentiation between criminals and innocent people is what matters.
