The Convenience of Corporate Crime

More about the book

Recidivism in corporate crime is a prominent theme, illustrated through case studies from companies like Telia Telecom and Wirecard. The book reveals that corporations frequently engage in white-collar offenses, such as financial and environmental crimes, when it benefits them. Minor penalties, like fines and scapegoating executives, fail to deter further misconduct, as the underlying motivations and opportunities remain intact. It highlights a troubling pattern where businesses and leaders often escape serious consequences for their repeated illegal actions.
