Corporate crime inflicts massive harm on employees, consumers, workplaces, economies, and the environment, but there are inadequate controls and few deterrent mechanisms, and sanctions are mild
relative to the harm done. There is little agreement on remedies and praxis, reflecting an underlying diversity of opinion on the causes of corporate criminality.
Corporate Crime is a collection of original papers by many of the world’s leading experts on corporate crime, and covers its causes, extent, and control. It presents discussions of all the
major areas of corporate criminal conduct and looks at the relationship between corporate structure and corporate crime. It opens up debate on appropriate control strategies to deter
perpetrators and minimize harm. The discussions focus on strategies to control the social, economic, and political costs of various kinds of corporate crime - within the corporate organization
and the fields of finance, occupational health and safety, and environmental degradation.
