First published in 1984, this book examines corporate crime in the
pharmaceutical industry. Based on extensive research, including
interviews with 131 senior executives of pharmaceutical companies
in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico and
Guatemala, the book is a major study of white-collar crime. Written
in the 1980s, it covers topics such as international bribery and
corruption, fraud in the testing of drugs and criminal negligence
in the unsafe manufacturing of drugs. The author considers the
implications of his findings for a range of strategies to control
corporate crime, nationally and internationally.
Contemporary societies have more vibrant markets than past ones.
Yet they are more heavily populated by private and public
regulators. This book explores the features of such a regulatory
capitalism, its tendencies to be cyclically crisis-ridden,
ritualistic and governed through networks. New ways of thinking
about resultant policy challenges are developed. At the heart of
this latest work by John Braithwaite lies the insight by David
Levi-Faur and Jacint Jordana that the welfare state was succeeded
in the 1970s by regulatory capitalism. The book argues that this
has produced stronger markets, public regulation, private
regulation and hybrid private/public regulation as well as new
challenges such as a more cyclical quality to crises of market and
governance failure, regulatory ritualism and markets in vice.
However, regulatory capitalism also creates opportunities for
better design of markets in virtue such as markets in continuous
improvement, privatized enforcement of regulation, open source
business models, regulatory pyramids with networked escalation and
meta-governance of justice. Regulatory Capitalism will be warmly
welcomed by regulatory scholars in political science, sociology,
history, economics, business schools and law schools as well as
regulatory bureaucrats, policy thinkers in government and law and
society scholars.
This book is a major contribution to regulatory theory from three
members of the world-class regulatory research group based in
Australia. It marks a new development in responsive regulatory
theory in which a strengths-based pyramid complements the
regulatory pyramid. The authors compare the accomplishments of
nursing home regulation in the US, the UK and Australia during the
last 20 years and in a longer historical perspective. They find
that gaming and ritualism, rather than defiance of regulators, are
the greatest challenges for improving safety and quality of life
for the elderly in care homes. Regulating Aged Care shows how good
regulation and caring professionalism can transcend ritualism.
Better regulation is found to be as much about encouragement to
expand strengths as incentives to fix problems. The book is
underpinned by one of the most ambitious, sustained qualitative and
quantitative data collections in both the regulatory literature and
the aged care literature. This study provides an impressive
evidence base for both theory development and reassessment of
policy and practitioner responses in the field. The book will find
its readership amongst regulatory scholars in political science,
law, socio-legal studies, sociology, economics and public policy.
Gerontology and health care scholars and professionals will also
find much to reflect upon in the book.
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.

First published in 1979, Inequality, Crime, and Public Policy
integrates and interprets the vast corpus of existing research on
social class, slums, and crime, and presents its own findings on
these matters. It explores two major questions. First, do policies
designed to redistribute wealth and power within capitalist
societies have effects upon crime? Second, do policies created to
overcome the residential segregation of social classes have effects
on crime? The book provides a brilliantly comprehensive and
systematic review of the empirical evidence to support or refute
the classic theories of Engles, Bonger, Merton, Cloward and Ohlin,
Cohen, Miller, Shaw and McKay, amongst many others. Braithwaite
confronts these theories with evidence of the extent and nature of
white collar crime, and a consideration of the way law enhancement
and law enforcement might serve class interest.

Biosocial criminology-and biosocial criminologists-focuses on both
the environmental and biological factors that contribute to
antisocial behavior. Importantly, these two domains are not
separate parts of an equation but pieces of the same puzzle that
fit together for a complete picture of the causes of
crime/antisocial behavior. Fitting the Facts of Crime applies a
biopsychosocial lens to the "13 facts of crime" identified by John
Braithwaite in his classic book, Crime, Shame and Reintegration.
The authors unpack established facts-about gender and sex, age,
environment, education, class, social bonds and associations,
stress, and other influences-providing both empirical research and
evidence from biopsychosocial criminology to address the etiology
behind these facts and exactly how they are related to deviant
behavior. With their approach, the authors show how biopsychosocial
criminology can be a unifying framework to enrich our understanding
of the most robust and well-established topics in the field. In so
doing, they demonstrate how biological and psychological findings
can be responsibly combined with social theories to lend new
insight into existing inquiries and solutions. Designed to become a
standard text for criminology in general, Fitting the Facts of
Crime introduces key concepts and applies them to real-world
situations.
New intellectual property regimes are entrenching new inequalities. Access to information is fundamental to the exercise of human rights and marketplace competition, but patents are being used to lock up vital educational, software, genetic and other information, creating a global property order dominated by a multinational elite. How did intellectual property rules become part of the World Trade Organization's "free trade" agreements? How have these rules changed the knowledge game for international business? What are the consequences for the ownership of biotechnology and digitial technology, and for all those who have to pay for what was once shared information?;Based on extensive interviews with key players, this book tells the story of these profound transformations in information ownership. The authors argue that in the globalized information society, the rich have found new ways to rob the poor, and shows how intellectual property rights can be more democratically defined.
The astonishing development of restorative justice practice over
the past decade has inspired creative new thinking about the
philosophy of punishment and principles of justice. Many of the
questions raised in this book - such as the relationship between
restorative and retributive justice and the values and processes
which should guide restorative practice - are the subject of
intense debates. With contributions from many of the most
distinguished scholars in the field, this book analyzes the gap
between philosophy and practice and the need for practice to be
more informed by philosophy. This volume is a milestone in the
development of those underlying principles which will direct the
progress of restorative justice in the future.

In Restorative and Responsive Human Services, Gale Burford, John
Braithwaite, and Valerie Braithwaite bring together a distinguished
collection providing rich lessons on how regulation in human
services can proceed in empowering ways that heal and are
respectful of human relationships and legal obligations. The human
services are in trouble: combining restorative justice with
responsive regulation might redeem them, renewing their
well-intended principles. Families provide glue that connects
complex systems. What are the challenges in scaling up relational
practices that put families and primary groups at the core of
health, education, and other social services? This collection has a
distinctive focus on the relational complexity of restorative
practices. How do they enable more responsive ways of grappling
with complexity than hierarchical and prescriptive human services?
Lessons from responsive business regulation inform a re-imagining
of the human services to advance wellbeing and reduce domination.
Readers are challenged to re-examine the perverse incentives and
contradictions buried in policies and practices. How do they
undermine the capacities of families and communities to solve
problems on their own terms? This book will interest those who
harbor concerns about the creep of domination into the lives of
vulnerable citizens. It will help policymakers and researchers to
re-focus human services to fundamental outcomes at the foundation
of sustainable democracies. This book is available for free in PDF
format as Open Access from the individual product page at
www.routledge.com. It has been made available under a Creative
