This book offers a comprehensive, accessible and student-friendly account of a subject
which is becoming of increasing concern and debate amongst criminologists. The key element
in its approach will be to look at corporate crime in the broad contexts of theoretical
criminology, applied criminology and criminal justice.
Chapters in the book set out the types and nature of corporate crime, discuss the
various theories that have been developed to explain it, look at recent developments,
(such as the increasing size and power of corporate organisations) and their implications
for the future, as well as the question of the policing and punishment of corporate crime.
FEATURES:
places corporate crime in its three contexts of theoretical criminology, applied
criminology and criminal justice.
examines how criminal law and criminal justice, originally devised for dealing with the
individual, has been developed and adapted in order to deal with corporations
