Beschreibung

This edited collection sheds light on the evolution of corporate financial crime, exploring a myriad of offenses ranging from money laundering and fraud to market manipulation and bribery.

Considering and assessing the models used in national law to determine the culpability of corporations, this book compares the different schemes used to address financial and other organisational crimes committed by these entities. Through a combination of history, law, and global perspectives, its chapters dissect landmark cases and provide detailed analyses of money laundering, fraud, market manipulation, manslaughter, and legislative responses in various locations around the world. This comparative approach offers a unique lens, exploring diverse jurisdictions and shedding light on global patterns of corporate wrongdoing. By critically assessing the challenges of prosecuting economic crimes on a large scale, the collection proposes innovative solutions, including the introduction of 'failure to prevent' offences.

Corporate Criminal Liability and Sanctions: Current Trends and Policy Changes is a valuable resource for academics, professionals, and anyone intrigued by the ever-evolving realm of white-collar and corporate wrongdoing. It will appeal to scholars across the fields of law, criminology, sociology, and economics, as well as those professionally engaged in preventing and investigating corruption and in developing or enforcing regulation, such as solicitors, barristers, businessmen, and public servants.

Rezensionen

"States have tried to solve the challenges of corporate involvement in crime in different ways. Corporate Criminal Liability and Sanctions fills a gap in the literature with a thought-provoking tour through some of these struggles and the solutions that states have adopted to resolve them."

Neil Boister, Professor of Law, University of Canterbury, New Zealand

"Corporate Criminal Liability and Sanctions points to a simple truth: the ability of lawmakers to adequately address and effectively punish corporations for criminal acts and omissions depends on their ability, not only to innovate and pre-empt, but also to look to other jurisdictions for examples of good practice. This edited collection of

chapters takes the reader through the key models used to address the culpability of corporations, and illustrates the arguments with a thoughtful use of contemporary research and case studies from across the world."

Professor Mark Button, Co-Director of the Centre for Cybercrime and Economic Crime, University of Portsmouth, UK

"On the modern landscape, the intersection of corporations and financial, or economic, crime remains relatively unexplored terrain. Through comparative investigations, analysis of new tools ranging from forfeiture to remediation agreements, and interspersed with rich theory, this new work deftly pries open a key window onto the relationship between corporate structures and financial crime, offering a distinct, fresh, insightful and at times evocative perspective on matters that ought to be of great concern to all."

Michelle Gallant Ph.D, Professor, Faculty of Law University of Manitoba, Canada

"Corporate Criminal Liability and Sanctions is a useful instrument for understanding a complex subject. This edited collection presents various models of corporate culpability in domestic law from many jurisdictions worldwide, followed by a comparison of different schemes for dealing with corporate crimes. The book offers new perspectives, with implications for both scholars and practitioners."

Enrico Basile, Assistant Professor of Criminal Law and White-Collar Crime, Università Bocconi, Milano, Italy
