This book asks why corporations are rarely held accountable for corporate crime and proposes solutions to the problem.

This compelling book explains why accountability for corporate crime is rarely imposed under the present law, and proposes solutions which would help to extend responsibility to a wide range of actors.In modern society corporate activities frequently result in serious harm, whether to the environment, to victims of industrial accidents, or to persons who suffer loss from fraudulent operations. In such cases who should be held responsible, the corporation or individual employees? This book explains why accountability is rarely imposed under the present law, and proposes solutions which would help to extend responsibility to a wide range of actors. The authors develop an Accountability Model under which the courts and corporations work together to achieve accountability across a broad front.
