Abstract

This edited collection explores the culpability of corporate bodies and international organisations and examines the different responses to economic offences such as money laundering, bribery and corruption, cybercrime, market manipulation, insider trading and market abuse. In a world where corporations wield legal personhood, the legal intricacies of corporate criminal liability come to the forefront. While national and international lawmakers attempt to rein in corporate power, the ever-evolving landscape demands a re-evaluation of the current normative framework. The heart of the book lies in its dual mission — firstly, to compare the different jurisdictional approaches to crimes committed by corporations, and secondly, to propose solutions to some of the challenges faced by lawmakers, policymakers and law enforcement. Expert contributors embark on a global journey from North America to the Asia Pacific via Europe, from Common Law jurisdictions to Civil Law ones, unravelling the diverse approaches to corporate and institutional crime. The challenges facing lawmakers, policymakers and law enforcement are explored throughout this book, alongside solutions to the complex issues they face, whether this involves money laundering (Chapters one to three), bribery and corruption (Chapters four to seven and eleven), fraud (Chapters eight and ten), cyber-trafficking (Chapter twelve) and corporate involvement in human rights violations (Chapter nine).
