“…Il y des raisons de penser que les actes « corporatifs » antisociaux 12. Les études indiquent peu de différence de motivation et de personnalité entre les « contrevenants » (les accusés) et leurs collègues de travail (Coleman, 1987 ;Clinard et Yeager, 1980 ;Fisse et Braithwaite, 1983 ;Passas, 1990 ;Braithwaite, 1985aBraithwaite, , 1985bBraithwaite, , 1984Shapiro, 1985Shapiro, , 1984Varrette, 1985 ;Vaughan, 1982 ;Vandivier, 1992). Il y a donc des raisons de croire que la criminalité « corporative » est à la hausse.…”

This paper examines the ideological and political collapse of laws regulating corporate crime in North America. In an era where social control and criminalization are steadily increasing, corporate crime has been normalized, shorn of its negative, criminal implications, de-regulated in law. The paper asks why this has happened, looking first at the century-long battle waged by labour and other counter-hegemonic groups to censure and control the antisocial acts of corporations through the passage of criminal legislation. Second, it examines the role criminology as a discipline played in this process, and the subsequent replacement of criminological discourse and influence by the newly-ascendent law and economics movement, which has provided the much of the academic support for de-regulation. Both developments, it is argued, are linked to changes in global capitalism and the weakened nation-state. Finally, the paper argues that the removal of regulation through criminal or administrative law, and of its accompanying rhetorics of denunciation, has grave consequences for social policy. The structural and ideological forces of global capitalism that have normalized corporate crime have also provided ideal conditions for increases in its incidence and impact

“…The former posits that the settings in which the financial elite operate are already largely normless, thus encouraging experimental conducts and allowing for the arbitrary expansion of practices (Passas, 2009). Control theory, in turn, has suggested that a number of characteristics belonging to offenders may explain all types of crimes, whether in the streets or in the suites.…”

Abstract. This paper focuses on the contribution of early criminologists (particularly Beccaria and Bentham) to the analysis of the particular forms of crime of the powerful occurring in the financial arena. After a brief review of the contemporary criminological literature on financial crime, it provides, first, an account of some financial crises that occurred during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Second, it searches within the writings of classical criminologists such as Beccaria and Bentham for definitions and clarifications as to what was regarded at the time as financial delinquency. Finally, in a concluding discussion, it highlights differences and similarities between past and current interpretations, all to a degree reflecting the ambiguous nature of this type of delinquency.

“…At the intermediary level, organizational approaches examine how defective standard operating procedures and/or maladaptive emphases on performance goals within organizations increase the likelihood of deviant outcomes (Finney and Lesieur, 1982;Gross, 1978;Hopkins, 1978;Kramer, 1982). When merged with anomie theory, this perspective has generated valuable narratives of both corporate and state crime ( Braithwaite, 1989;Passas, 1990;Vaughan, 1982;1983;. At the level of individual behavior, Sutherland's (1940;1949) theory of differential association theory established the importance of understanding the role of grounded human interaction in the process toward deviant organizational activities.…”
