On Theory and Action for Corporate Crime Control

Abstract

The recent surge of governmental and scholarly interest in corporate crime seems likely to end or to slow down considerably under the Reagan administration. This paper examines six propositions jointly suggesting that corporate crime represents a more feasible and signifi cant crime control target than traditional crime. It is argued that the discredited doctrines of crime control by public disgrace, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation can be successfully applied to cor porate crime. This would be particularly true if the implications of our propositions were to form the basis for alterations in criminal law and criminal procedure.
