First Published in 1995. The Exxon Valdez catastrophe, the savings-and-loan bailout, defense-contractor fraud, and insider trading scandals have inspired a growing number of courses devoted to the subject of corporate criminality. This collection of original essays treats various aspects of a wide-ranging problem, including the evolution of the study of corporate crime, the difficulties of understanding corporate illegality, the nature and extent of corporate crime, financial and social costs, measurement issues, the regulation of corporate behavior, public perceptions, and the punishment of corporate crime.
