This book by Clinard (sociology, U. of Wisconsin) and Yeager (sociology, Boston U.), first published in 1980 is billed by Clinard as "the first and still the only comprehensive study of corporate law violations by [US] corporations in the Fortune 500." Drawing on articles in the Wall Street Journal and other sources, it discusses corporate organization and criminal behavior, types corporate violations of law, and discusses the politics and policy of antitrust. It then explores issues of political contributions, bribery, and foreign payoffs; considers the relationship between illegalities and the accounting profession; and examines the topics of corporate social responsibility and business ethics. Corporate criminality in the oil, automobile, and pharmaceutical industries is then examined, followed by consideration of the role of corporate executives in issues of criminal liability. The volume concludes with a chapter on controlling corporate crime. The new edition discusses the development of a criminological interest in corporate crime, explains the nature of corporate crime, discusses the major issues involved, and concludes with a comparative view of corporate crime in the 25 years since the original publication.
