When corporations carry on their business in a grossly negligent
manner, or take a cavalier approach to risk management, the
consequences can be catastrophic. The harm may be financial, as
occurred when such well-regarded companies as Enron, Lehman
Brothers, Worldcom and Barings collapsed, or it may be
environmental, as illustrated most recently by the Gulf oil spill.
Sometimes deaths and serious injuries on a mass scale occur, as in
the Bhopal gas disaster, the Chernobyl nuclear explosion, the Paris
crash of the Concorde, the capsize of the Herald of Free
Enterprise, and rail crashes at Southall, Paddington and Hatfield
in England.What role can the law play in preventing such debacles
and in punishing the corporate offenders? This collection of
thematic papers and European country reports addresses these
questions at both a theoretical and empirical level. The thematic
papers analyse corporate criminal liability from a range of
academic disciplines, including law, sociology/criminology,
economics, philosophy and environmental studies, whilst the country
reports look at the laws of corporate crime throughout Europe,
highlighting both common features and irreconcilable differences
between the various jurisdictions.
