Corporations and Criminal Responsibility (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

Business corporations wield enormous economic power: they are producers, service providers, media manipulators, political campaigners, OXF J LEG S, employers, consumers, May 2001 polluters, ... and sometimes criminals. Legal structures largely serve their interests, corporate personality protects their owners from the full consequences of failure and the regulation to which they are subject assumes their beneficence. This book analyses the background to the demands to use criminal law sanctions against corporations, including the rise in the demand for corporate manslaughter prosecutions and the difficulties in attributing blame to an artificial body.
