Handbook of Social Intervention

Abstract

What choices face middle managers when corporations engage in illegal behaviour? How do they balance pressures from top management against moral concerns? What happens to them when they must decide whether or not to report illegal practices to the government? Clinard examines these important questions in a fascinating book based on detailed interviews with retired middle managers from a number of large (Fortune 500) corporations. 'The book is organized well and highly readable...should inspire considerable theory and research in the future.' -- Choice, January 1984 'Clinard's book is an important contribution to our understanding of corporate deviance and its control. It merits the attention of an interdisciplinary readership, not least of all those criminologists concerned with organizational deviance of any kind -- whether private or public sector.' -- The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Criminology '...Clinard has made another unique contribution to the growing literature on coporate crime by examining, for the first time the views of middle management...' -- The Annals, July 1984
