Is there a broad call for this? Definitely. Will things ever be arranged thus? Probably never.
The teenager crimes--drugs & petty thievery--are cut & dry, no contracts, no fine print, yes & no answers. "Did you, or did you not, take the bicycle?" White collar crime--unless the perpetrator was extraordinarily careless--can consume orders-of-magnitude more legal time, & requires more specialized/knowledgeable judges & attorneys (who are obviously in short supply).
Most municipalities fund their district attorney's office begrudgingly. Say some madman of a DA decided to put JP Morgan in his sights. How well will he fare against them with his 2nd/3rd tier attorneys on a shoestring budget?
The legal system is our sublimation of "might makes right". Established white collar criminals have sufficient might.
