From corporate corruption and the facilitation of money laundering,
to food fraud and labour exploitation, European citizens continue
to be confronted by serious corporate and white-collar crimes.
Presenting an original series of provocative essays, this book
offers a European framing of white-collar crime. Experts from
different countries foreground what is unique, innovative or
different about white-collar and corporate crimes that are so
strongly connected to Europe, including the tensions that exist
within and between the nation-states of Europe, and within the
institutions of the European region. This European voice provides
an original contribution to discourses surrounding a form of crime
which is underrepresented in current criminological literature.

This book is about the regulation of corporations that use bribery
in international commerce to win or maintain overseas business
contracts and interests. Recent large-scale cases involving
multinational corporations demonstrate how large commercial
'non-criminal' enterprises are being implicated in substantive
overseas bribery scandals and illustrate the difficulties faced by
responsible enforcement authorities in the UK and Germany. The book
imports concepts from regulation theory to aid our understanding of
the emerging enforcement, self-regulatory and hybrid responses to
transnational corporate bribery. Lord implements a qualitative,
comparative research strategy involving semi-structured interviews,
participant observation and document analysis to provide empirical
insights into this relatively invisible area of criminological
interest. Despite significant cultural differences between the
jurisdictions, this book argues that UK and German anti-corruption
authorities face procedural, evidential, legal, financial and
structural difficulties that are leading to convergence in
prosecution policies. Although self-regulatory and hybrid
mechanisms are aiding the response and gaining some level of
regulation, the default position is one of accommodation by state
agencies, even where the will to enforce the law is high. This book
is essential reading for academics and students researching
corporate and white-collar crimes and the concept of regulation
more generally, as well as law enforcement agencies and
international and intergovernmental organisations concerned with
anti-corruption.
This edited collection analyses, from multiple disciplinary
perspectives, the issue of corruption in commercial enterprise
across different sectors and jurisdictions. Corruption is commonly
recognised as a major 'social bad', and is seriously harmful to
society, in terms of the functioning and legitimacy of
political-economic systems, and the day-to-day lives of
individuals. There is nothing novel about bribes in brown envelopes
and dubious backroom deals, ostensibly to grease the wheels of
business. Corrupt practices like these go to the very heart of
illicit transacting in both legal markets - such as kickbacks to
facilitate contracts in international commerce - and illegal
markets - such as payoffs to public officials to turn a blind eye
to cross-border smuggling. Aside from the apparent pervasiveness
and longevity of corruption in commercial enterprise, there is now
renewed policy and operational attention on the phenomenon,
prompting and meriting deeper analysis. Corruption in commercial
enterprise, encompassing behaviours often associated with corporate
and white-collar crime, and corruption in criminal commercial
enterprise, where we see corruption central to organised crime
activities, are major public policy issues. This collection gives
us insight into their nature, organisation and governance, and how
to respond most appropriately and effectively.

This book argues that there is a strong normative argument for
using the criminal law as a primary response to corporate crime. In
practice, however, corporate crimes are rarely dealt with through
criminal sanctioning mechanisms. Rather, the preference - for both
prosecutors and corporates - appears to be on negotiating out of
the criminal process. Reflecting this emphasis on negotiation, this
book examines the use of Civil Recovery Orders and Deferred
Prosecution Agreements as responses to corporate crime, and
discusses a variety of UK case studies. Drawing upon legal and
criminological backgrounds, and with an emphasis on the conceptual
frameworks of 'negotiated justice' and 'legitimacy', the authors
examine the law, policy and practice of these enforcement
responses. They offer an original, theoretically-informed analysis
which is accessible to practitioners and researchers.
