Corporate Manslaughter and Regulatory Reform provides an
innovative account of the emergence of new corporate manslaughter
offences to criminalize deaths in the workplace during the last
twenty years. This has occurred in many different national
jurisdictions, but this book shows how these developments can be
understood as a coherent phenomenon. It identifies the historical
and legal origins of the instrumentalism that has limited the
ability of health and safety regulation to respond effectively to
work-related death cases, and explains how and why criminal law
came to be used as a means of addressing these limitations by
reinforcing the moral values underpinning regulation. The
contemporary neo-liberal political context is shown to have posed
fundamental challenges to systems of safety regulation, and created
an environment in which the criminal law is seen as an effective
and desirable means of delivering important moral and symbolic
messages that regulation cannot communicate effectively itself.
