Corporate crimes seem endemic to modern society. The newspapers are filledon a daily basis with examples of financial manipulation, accounting fraud, foodfraud, cartels, bribery, toxic spills and environmental harms, corporate humanrights violations, insider trading, privacy violations, discrimination, corporatemanslaughter or violence, and, recently, software manipulation. Clearly, theproblem of corporate crime transcends the micro level of the individual 'rottenapple': although corporate crimes are ultimately committed by individualmembers of an organization, they have more structural roots, as the enablingand justifying organizational context in which they take place plays a definingrole. Organizations provide individuals with positions, incentives, networks, rules,routines, perceptions and beliefs, that structure the opportunities for crime. Thus,organizational factors can explain how misconduct in organizations is defined,perceived, normalized, organized, and facilitated on the one hand, and controlledand prevented on the other hand.Organization studies have a long tradition of studying misconduct and deviance inorganizational contexts. This Special Issue of Administrative Sciences focuses onthe organizational and administrative aspects of a broad spectrum of corporateand organizational crimes.

Frank Pearce was the first scholar to use the term 'crimes of the powerful.' His ground-breaking book of the same name provided insightful critiques of liberal orthodox criminology, particularly in relation to labelling theory and symbolic interactionism, while making important contributions to Marxist understandings of the complex relations between crime, law and the state in the reproduction of the capitalist social order. Historically, crimes of the powerful were largely neglected in crime and deviance studies, but there is now an important and growing body of work addressing this gap. This book brings together leading international scholars to discuss the legacy of Frank Pearce's book and his work in this area, demonstrating the invaluable contributions a critical Marxist framework brings to studies of corporate and state crimes, nationally, internationally and on a global scale. This book is neither a hagiography, nor a review of random areas of social scientific interest. Instead, it draws together a collection of scholarly and original articles which draw upon and critically interrogate the continued significance of the approach pioneered in Crimes of the Powerful. The book traces the evolution of crimes of the powerful empirically and theoretically since 1976, shows how critical scholars have integrated new theoretical insights derived from post-structuralism, feminism and critical race studies and offers perspectives on how the crimes of the powerful - and the enormous, ongoing destruction they cause - can be addressed and resisted.

"Building on original research into the petroleum industry and on the theory of crimes of globalization, this book introduces the concept of Market Criminology: the criminology of preventable market-generated harms and the criminogenic effects of market rationality in variegated forms of capitalism. Ifeanyi Ezeonu explores the ascendance of the fundamentalist form of market economy in Nigeria; the complicity of the state political and security apparatuses in the corporate expropriation of the country's petroleum resource wealth; the deleterious effects of this neoliberal architecture on the local population, as well as community resistance strategies over the years. This book offers a major contribution to research on state-corporate crime and the crimes of the powerful. Key reading for scholars and students in the areas of criminology, international political economy and sociology, this book will also be rich resource for researchers and non-governmental agencies working in the areas of environmental protection, human rights and sustainable development in the Global South, especially the Sub-Saharan Africa."--Provided by publisher.
