Dukes, Braithwaite and Moloney reach the depressing conclusion that
'corporate crime in the pharmaceutical industry appears to be on
the rise.' Their approach to this problem is much more nuanced than
just throwing people in jail. They advocate for a pyramid of
regulatory strategies including qui tam legislation and equity
fines. There is an opportunity for a radical transformation of the
pharmaceutical industry and the authors offer us a road map to
begin that journey.' - Joel Lexchin MD, York University, CanadaThe
pharmaceutical industry must exist to serve the community, but over
the years it has engaged repeatedly in corporate crime and
anti-social behavior, with the public footing the bill. This
readable study by experts in medicine, law, criminology and public
health, with deep experience of the industry, documents problems
ranging from false advertising and counterfeiting to corruption,
fraud and overpricing. It is a fresh and revealing look at the
unacceptable pressures brought to bear on doctors, politicians,
patients and the media. Uniquely, the book presents realistic and
worldwide solutions for the future, with positive policies
encouraging honest dealing, as well as partial privatization of
enforcement and a transformation of science policy to develop the
medicines that society needs most. The authors examine in turn each
of the main facets of the pharmaceutical industry's activities -
research, manufacturing, information, distribution and pricing - as
well as some questionable aspects of its relationship with society.
Offering a considered analysis of pharmaceutical rights and wrongs
as they have developed, particularly over the last half-century,
this book is rich in new insights for managers in the
pharmaceutical industry, regulatory agencies and health agencies.
