Understanding Business Offenders cover

Focusing on understanding business offenders through an exploration of workplace deviance and crime, this book closely examines a number of illustrative contemporary case studies and underpins the analysis of original comparative fieldwork, with an interdisciplinary approach, which informs, develops, and augments the existing literature on white-collar criminology. The book contends, inter alia, that the traditional centrality of the individual actor within narratives of white-collar offending has receded somewhat in recent years despite being a founding artifact within its late twentieth- century discourse, and that therefore a detailed reassessment is overdue.

“This book will immediately draw the attention of experts and policy makers working in these fields … will supply every reader with considerable, novel insight into white collar crime at the level and depth not yet articulated in the past.”• James F. Albrecht, Pace University, New York City
