Is there something inherent in corporate cultures that leads to illegal/unethical behavior? Do larger societal factors have an influence? In a volume that promotes transdisciplinary, trans- national study of corporate and white-collar crime, John Minkes (criminology and criminal justice, Swansea U.) and Leonard Minkes (emeritus, business organization, U. of Birmingham) introduce ten contributions that approach these issues from legal, ethical, classic and modern economic, social science, and philosophical perspectives. The volume offers case examples; models of occupational deviance (e.g., based on the company as total institution, Dynamic Cultural Theory); suggestions for further reading; and lessons for research, policy, and practice.
