Abstract

Die Strafrechtler überlassen es nicht der (kritischen) Kriminologie, nach Strukturen und Motiven von Strafgesetzgebung und Strafrechtsanwendung in Wirtschaftsstrafsachen zu suchen. Sie sehen – wofür die traditionelle Interpretation des Rechts eigentlich keine Handhabe bietet –, dass vieles Rätselhafte oder jedenfalls schwer zu Erklärende bei Staatsanwaltschaften und Gerichten im Umgang mit den Beschuldigten seinen Ursprung in unreflektierten Vorverständnissen und institutionellen Dynamiken hat.Das Hauptbeispiel ist die Flucht in die abstrakten Gefährdungstatbestände. Da sie auf das Merkmal eines eingetretenen Schadens – auch in Gestalt konkreter Gefährdungen – verzichten und die generelle Eignung eines Verhaltens, einen Schaden herbeizuführen, genügen lassen, reduziert sich die Prüfungspflicht der Justiz auf die Frage nach verletzten Pflichten. Sie kann man mühelos in einem Katalog zusammenstellen, weil es auf Folgenkalkulation nicht ankommt. Diese fordert vielmehr, dass man bei den Konkretisierungen der Definitionen das Verhältnis von Zuschreibung und Zurechnung klärt.Die Beiträge setzen sich mit dieser Problematik sowohl grundsätzlich wie im Detail auseinander, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von Opfermitverantwortung einerseits, Anlageberatung und exzessiver Risikoübernahme andererseits. Der Band schließt mit der Diskussion über den Vorschlag für ein Unternehmensstrafrecht. The contributions to the 7th ECLE Symposium mainly focus on the problem of abstract risk for offenses in commercial criminal cases, discussing both principle and particulars. A special focus is placed on considering victim joint responsibility as well as investment advice and excessive risk assumption. The volume concludes with a discussion of the proposal to institute a corporate criminal act.

Abstract

Contemporary transnational criminals take advantage of globalization, trade liberalization, and emerging new technologies to commit a diverse range of crimes. By moving money, goods, services, and people instantaneously they are able to serve purposes of pure economic gain or political violence. This book examines the rise of international economic crime and recent strategies to combat it in the United States and abroad. Focusing on the role of international relations, it draws from case studies in a diverse range of criminality from money laundering to tax evasion. Newly revised and expanded, the second edition of International White Collar Crime incorporates recent developments and updated case studies. New chapters on environmental crimes and securities enforcement under the Dodd-Frank Act continue to make it an essential tool for practicing business, law, and law enforcement.

Abstract

This book presents descriptions of theories about white-collar crime offenders and offenses. A case study is developed from a sample of 369 white-collar criminals generated by extracting newspaper stories and supplemented by court records. Numerous approaches to white-collar crime are organized and applied to the database. Theories are cataloged and tested against empirical data. The main aim of this book is to present a framework for a general theory of white-collar crime based on a number of sub-theories. Over the years, from research done on white-collar crime, three major characteristics h

Abstract

We are well aware of the rise of the 1% as the rapid growth of economic inequality has put the majority of the world's wealth in the pockets of fewer and fewer. One much-discussed solution to this imbalance is to significantly increase the rate at which we tax the wealthy. But with an enormous amount of the world's wealth hidden in tax havens--in countries like Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands--this wealth cannot be fully accounted for and taxed fairly. No one, from economists to bankers to politicians, has been able to quantify exactly how much of the world's assets are currently hidden--until now. Gabriel Zucman is the first economist to offer reliable insight into the actual extent of the world's money held in tax havens. And it's staggering. In The Hidden Wealth of Nations, Zucman offers an inventive and sophisticated approach to quantifying how big the problem is, how tax havens work and are organized, and how we can begin to approach a solution. His reasearch re veals that tax havens are a quickly growing danger to the world economy. In the past five years, the amount of wealth in tax havens has increased over 25%--there has never been as much money held offshore as there is today. This hidden wealth accounts for at least $7.6 trillion, equivalent to 8% of the global financial assets of households. Fighting the notion that any attempts to vanquish tax havens are futile, since some countries will always offer more advantageous tax rates than others, as well as the counterargument that since the financial crisis tax havens have disappeared, Zucman shows how both sides are actually very wrong. In [this book], he offers an ambitious agenda for reform, focused on ways in which countries can change the incentives of tax havens. Only by first understanding the enormity of the secret wealth can we begin to estimate the kind of actions that would force tax havens to give up their practices. Zucman's work has quickly become the gold standard for quantif ying the amount of the world's assets held in havens. In this concise book, he lays out in approachable language how the international banking system works and the dangerous extent to which the large-scale evasion of taxes is undermining the global market as a whole. -- Inside jacket flaps.

Abstract

"Research on the crimes of the powerful brings together several areas of independent and yet often overlapping areas of criminological focus, involving organizational and institutional networks of powerful people, including crimes committed against workers, marketplaces, taxpayers, political systems and acts of torture, terrorism, genocide and state terrorism. This international handbook offers a comprehensive, authoritative and structure synthesis of these interrelated topics of contemporary research in criminology.Edited by an internationally acclaimed expert in the field and author of various celebrated publications, this book reflects the state of the art of scholarly research on the crimes of the powerful, covering all key areas including corporate crime, financial crime and state crime as well as media representations and formal and informal methods of controlling such crimes. This book is a perfect resource for students and researchers engaged with corporate, financial, state and white-collar crimes and international crime control. "-- "Across the world, most people are well aware of ordinary criminal harms to person and property. Often committed by the powerless and poor, these individualized crimes are catalogued in the statistics collected annually by the FBI and by similar agencies in other developed nations. In contrast, the more harmful and systemic forms of injury to person and property committed by powerful and wealthy individuals, groups, and national states are neither calculated by governmental agencies nor annually reported by the mass media. As a result, most citizens of the world are unaware of the routinized "crimes of the powerful", even though they are more likely to experience harms and injuries from these types of organized offenses than they are from the atomized offenses of the powerless. Research on the crimes of the powerful brings together several areas of criminological focus, involving organizational and institutional networks of powerful people that commit crimes against workers, marketplaces, taxpayers and political systems, as well as acts of torture, terrorism, and genocide. This international handbook offers a comprehensive, authoritative and structural synthesis of these interrelated topics of criminological concern. It also explains why the crimes of the powerful are so difficult to control. Edited by internationally acclaimed criminologist Gregg Barak, this book reflects the state of the art of scholarly research, covering all the key areas including corporate, global, environmental, and state crimes. The handbook is a perfect resource for students and researchers engaged with explaining and controlling the crimes of the powerful, domestically and internationally"--
