From the Master and Servant legislation to the Factories Acts of
the 19th century, the criminal law has always had a vital yet
normatively complex role in the regulation of work relations. Even
in its earliest forms, it operated both as a tool to repress
collective organizations and enforce labour discipline, while
policing the worst excesses of industrial capitalism. Recently,
governments have begun to rediscover criminal law as a regulatory
tool in a diverse set of areas related to labour law: 'modern
slavery', penalizing irregular migrants, licensing regimes for
labour market intermediaries, wage theft, supporting the
enforcement of general labour standards, new forms of hybrid
preventive orders, harassment at work, and industrial protest. This
volume explores the political and regulatory dimensions of the new
'criminality at work' from a wide range of disciplinary
perspectives, including labour law, immigration law, and health and
safety regulations. The volume provides an overview of the
regulatory terrain of 'criminality at work', exploring whether
these different regulatory interventions represent politically
legitimate uses of the criminal law. The book also examines whether
these recent interventions constitute a new pattern of
criminalization that operates in preventive mode and is based upon
character and risk-based forms of culpability. The volume concludes
by reflecting upon the general themes of 'criminality at work'
comparatively, from Australian, Canadian, and US perspectives.
Criminality at Work is a timely, rich and ambitious piece of
scholarship that examines the many intersections between criminal
law and work relations from a historical and contemporary
vantage-point.
