Section 4
Good evening, welcome once again to criminology 201.
I'm happy to see you
all
, looking so alert and
full of energy after a busy da
y. Tonight and for the
next few weeks, we'll be looking at what is clearly a very important topic
“corporate crime”.
First of all
what do we mean by corporate crime? The
simple answer of course is crime committed by a corporation. Usually by the
heads
of a corporation working together. But what about a crime committed by
for example the CEO of a company who without the knowledge of his
colleagues bribes a government official in order to get a big fat contract for his
company.
Well, we won't be looking at this kind of
white collar crime
. Rather we'll
restrict our study to cases where the top people in a business
entity
work
together and knowingly
break the law
and especially those cases where, until
they get caught. This type of unlawful behavior is actually part of the corporate
culture
. First, why do they do it?
