In an environment where corporate scandals fill the headlines and ethics courses have suddenly become standard fare in business schools, Terry Leap offers welcome insights into and useful ways of thinking about a critical problem that permeates our society. His main contribution is an integrative model of white-collar crime, which smoothly incorporates influences from sociology, psychology, public policy, and business. As he explains the process that occurs across the many different categories of crimes within organizations, he finds that there are more similarities than differences between "criminals in the suites" and "criminals in the streets."Leap's definition of crimes within organizations and the people who commit them are laid out in his first chapter. He then goes on to discuss the causes of and events surrounding white-collar crime, types of crimes and criminals, the decision-making processes of white-collar criminals, and the impact of these crimes. His concluding chapter predicts future trends in corporate crime, including an explanation of why we are likely to see more crime in health care. Throughout, Leap presents numerous specific examples and cases-from famous meltdowns such as Enron and WorldCom to less-publicized incidents including a weight-loss franchisee mislabeling doughnuts as low fat and a CEO of a South Carolina regional transportation authority misusing taxpayer money for lavish meals, personal expenses, and world travel.

Comprising fourteen articles by leading international contributors, including some of the most prominent socio-legal and criminological scholars working in the field, this volume is currently the only work available that critically examines W.G. Carson and his crucial influence in the turn towards sociological approaches to criminology and a criminological interest in governance and social control.The 1970s witnessed an epiphany in the sociological understanding of crime in Britain. The correctional perspective, which assumed crimes had inherent or essential qualities that distinguished them from other acts, was superseded by the analysis of how social events came to be defined as so harmful and repugnant as to require criminalization. This shift in perspectives was exemplified in W.G. Carson's work, which combines a Marxist acknowledgement of the imperative for profit with a symbolic interactionist attention to the restraining effect of prestige and status among producers and regulators. This key work is an essential read for postgraduates and researchers studying and researching in the areas of criminology and law.

Voici l’histoire mouvementée et chaotique de la délinquance économique, du 'problème criminel' qui marque cruellement l’actualité politique russe depuis la perestroïka. Durant les dernières décennies du régime soviétique, la pénurie de nombreux biens et services a provoqué le développement d’un ensemble de pratiques 'souterraines', considérées comme des infractions économiques dans la législation pénale. Comment les policiers et magistrats soviétiques sélectionnaient-ils au quotidien les affaires qu’ils traitaient ? De quel type de police relevaient ces délits ? Mais dans la seconde moitié des années 1980, la répression devint problématique : avec les premières réformes économiques libérales, les pratiques économiques se renouvelaient plus vite que le cadre juridique. Comment dès lors définir et sanctionner les 'délits économiques' ? Parallèlement les services répressifs, désorientés, découvraient la valeur marchande de leur savoir-faire professionnel. Nourrie d’archives inédites et d’entretiens, cette enquête éclaire les continuités de l’action gouvernementale en Russie, avant et après la fin de l’URSS, de la période brejnévienne au début des années Eltsine Voici tel qu’en lui-même le 'socialisme réel' confronté dans les dernières années de son existence au développement sauvage de l’esprit d’entreprise et à la fraude généralisée
