Berghahn Books Understanding Business Offenders
Book SynopsisFocusing on understanding business offenders through an exploration of workplace deviance and crime, this book closely examines a number of illustrative contemporary case studies and underpins the analysis of original comparative fieldwork, with an interdisciplinary approach, which informs, develops, and augments the existing literature on white-collar criminology. The book contends, inter alia, that the traditional centrality of the individual actor within narratives of white-collar offending has receded somewhat in recent years despite being a founding artifact within its late twentieth- century discourse, and that therefore a detailed reassessment is overdue.

Emerald Publishing Limited Harm Production and the Moral Dislocation of
Book SynopsisThis book is about disconnection. Disconnection gives vision to the City of London as an insulated social arena that, despite creating vast wealth and being the vanguard of the UK’s aspirational future, has made objects out of you and me. Building on Foucault’s teachings on finance and the ideological force of market competition, this ground-breaking book gives shape and form to how financial markets are sustained, managed and performed, and how they emerge and solidify within the shared cultural imagination and system of knowledge as a single, smooth, frictionless and coherent idea. Tracing the impacts of financialisation on those who enact its harmful logic, the author delves into the spatial disconnection that separates the City from the rest of London and the UK; the ontological disconnection that erects a demarcated boundary of expected outcomes, aspirations and practices; and the social disconnection experienced by finance workers who elevate themselves through a marker of perceived difference and ability. Through emerging narratives and ethnographic encounters, Simpson explores the practical and cognitive relations that underpin the performance of finance as a moral endeavour and analyses what it means to live and work within this extractive industry.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Corporate White-Collar Crime Scandals: Detection,
Book SynopsisBy examining white-collar crime scandals using the theory of convenience, Petter Gottschalk offers ways to improve the detection of crime signals and investigative skills in fraud examinations, as well as improve change management measures. Chapters take the reader chronologically through different key aspects of corporate white-collar crime, moving from the importance and impact of detection through whistleblowing, into how this evolves into an investigation and the role of fraud investigators. Finally, Gottschalk looks at the resulting restructure of the organization. Detailed case studies also offer critical analysis of why and how misconduct and crime should face consequences in the form of sanctions. Business school students and management consultants will find the combination of important theory and case studies useful in developing an understanding of the topic, and looking into successful resolutions. Criminal justice and law scholars will also find this to be a useful read in analysing the consequences of corporate white-collar crime.

Emerald Publishing Limited The Emerald International Handbook of
Book SynopsisThe ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online Digital technologies have led to many important social and cultural changes worldwide, but they are also implicated in the facilitation of violence and abuse. While cybercriminality is often described as one of the greatest threats to nation states and global security, the wide range of interpersonal crimes comprising technology-facilitated violence and abuse (TFVA) - including, but not limited to, image-based sexual abuse, hate speech, online sexual harassment and cyberstalking - has received little attention. This handbook features theoretical, empirical, policy and legal analysis of TFVA from over 40 multidisciplinary scholars, practitioners, advocates, survivors and technologists from 17 countries. Addressing a spectrum of abuse perpetrated online, offline and through new technologies, the book sets TFVA in the context of intersecting underlying systemic drivers - including misogyny, racism, classism, colonialism, ableism, ageism, transphobia and homophobia - and discusses ways forward in effectively responding to TFVA. Adopting a holistic approach, it explores a host of issues relating to TFVA, including the nature and experience of harmful and criminal conduct; organisational responses; regulatory, legal and ethical concerns; corporate and social responsibility; justice for victims; bystander intervention; and cultural and social attitudes. The handbook's international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral nature affords opportunities for learning from common experiences, but it also emphasises the equality-affirming importance of avoiding one-size-fits-all analyses that fail to reflect rich and diverse experiences from around the world.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Jane Bailey, Nicola Henry, and Asher Flynn Section 1 – TFVA Across A Spectrum of Behaviors Chapter 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Charting Corporate Corruption: Agency, Structure
Book SynopsisIn the post-Enron era, corporate corruption has increasingly featured on the research agenda. This informative book provides a novel approach by charting the actual causes of corruption. This highly topical volume demonstrates how agency (the decisions and choices of individuals) and structure (the contextual pressures in the business environment) can interact to result in the rapid escalation of corporate crime and corruption. By analysing and describing the social-psychological dimensions of this escalation, the book prescribes preventive measures that can be adapted and implemented by business organizations. Loaded with case studies and prospective solutions, Charting Corporate Corruption will be valuable to post-graduates studying business ethics, sociology and psychology, and to researchers seeking new theories and concepts in this field.Table of ContentsContents: Preface Introduction: The Enigma of Corporate Corruption 1. ‘Bad Apple’ Approaches to Organizational Corruption 2.

Agenda Publishing The Money Laundering Market: Regulating the
Book SynopsisGlobal money laundering transactions are estimated to be $3.5 trillion annually. Although global spending on anti-money laundering compliance was more than $8 billion in 2017, with most countries having adopted anti-money laundering measures, less than 1 per cent of illicit financial flows are seized by authorities. This collection of essays takes an integrated look at money laundering and the challenges facing regulators in the digital age. The contributors examine the opportunities for money laundering presented by the emergence of new payment methods, such as crowdfunding and mobile payment services, the largely unregulated financial services sector of hedge funds, private equity funds and derivatives, the explosion of online gambling, and the rise of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. The essays show how the anonymity, irreversibility and instantaneous nature of these online transactions, outside of the traditional banking system, make them ideally suited to hide, launder and move criminal revenues. While highlighting the challenges these digital technologies present, each essay also considers some of the tools regulators have and can use to close down the opportunities for money laundering that continues to keep crime profitable and illegal activities funded.Table of ContentsPart I: Money Laundering 1.

Filament Publishing Ltd The Lazarus Trade: The chance for a second life -
Book SynopsisA year from now, and unrest is spreading across Europe and America as faith in the system crumbles. The financial markets are buzzing with the deal of the year: DAWN CRYO, the world’s first cryogenics company to be floated on the Exchanges. Now those who thought they were facing certain death can be frozen until a cure is found – for a price. In a London park, Daniel Wood, the lead analyst on the Dawn Cryo deal, is approached by a stranger who threatens kill him unless he sabotages the deal. Apparently unconnected, MI6 Agent Emma Wilson is dispatched to Argentina to infiltrate a crack mercenary team which MI6 fear could be a major terrorist attack. At the Headquarters of the London Bank behind Dawn Cryo, Beverly Kane is running the deal. She is sent to Boston to persuade the huge East Coast hedge funds to back the deal. If she succeeds, the deal will be worth hundreds of millions for the bank. If she fails, she knows she will be thrown to the wolves. London Detective Anne Perry, trying to make sense of the anger and despair blighting the streets of her town, is called to investigate a series of apparent suicides in The City. She quickly suspects that these are not what they seem. As Emma Wilson finds herself fighting for her life in the deserts of Argentina, Anne Perry is drawn deeper into the dark heart of the markets. A world of limitless greed, where there are no rules and where death is just another trade. As the anger of the people begins to boil over, they must all face the shocking truth. What really lies behind the Dawn Cryo deal?Trade ReviewLike his first novel, this one spans a number of countries with different characters and seeming unconnected plots, but beautifully drawn together in the end. What this novel does is also to pose the question of how far should a government go to protect us? ; Fast paced and violent at times, but totally in keeping with the characters portrayed. A gripping read.: I do a lot of driving and am always looking out for something to keep me going. The Lazarus Trade was just that book. A thriller set across the globe, full of intrigue and twists and turns. No spoilers, but I was not expecting that ending! Not only did I love the book I also thought the choice of narrator was spot on.

Waterside Productions I Did It: The Largest Woman-Run Ponzi Scheme in
Book SynopsisI Did It is the story of Gina Champion-Cain, the mastermind behind the largest woman-led Ponzi scheme in US history—$400 million. This real-life story includes a multitude of participants, banks, hedge funds, egomaniacs, and small-time crooks, all fueled by greed, stupidity, and a keen desire to look the other way. And even when they were looking in the right direction, all of these people and entities saw nothing. Gina was the Penn and Teller of misdirection, acting with caring behavior to other people (while bilking her investors), creating philanthropic endeavors and single-mindedly pursuing her dream of building an empire, taking it public, and cashing out all the investors. In August 2019, Gina’s seven-year program of selling phony liquor license loans came to an end when the SEC, the US Attorney’s Office, and the FBI filed suit and shut it down. In San Diego, Gina, then fifty-four, was an icon. To the outside world, this beautiful, charismatic woman looked as if she had succeeded in a male-dominated good old boys club—building an empire that included real estate, restaurants, and retail; she was a guest economics commentator for the San Diego Union-Tribune; she served on prestigious corporate and nonprofit boards. The City of San Diego even honored her with her own Gina Champion-Cain Day. She cooked dinner for her husband Steve, walked the dogs on the beach, and was a role model for young women. But in reality, her empire was a house of cards funded with money from a financial fraud.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Impact of Corporate Culture and CMS: A Cross-Cultural Analysis on Internal and External Preventive Effects on Corruption
Book SynopsisEntering developing markets, companies are challenged by various cultures and widespread corruption. This book is a cross-cultural survey that explores the crime preventive effects of corporate cultures and compliance management systems (CMS) in China, India, Russia and Germany. Almost 2,000 managers anonymously reported about the compliance programs in place and cultures in their companies as well as on their experience with corruption at work and in everyday life.Despite differences across countries, results suggest that the elements of an integrity-promoting corporate culture are similarly important in their corruption preventive effects.The second major result is that a CMS can develop its effectiveness only when combined with an appropriately practiced integrity-promoting company culture.Third, companies can counteract the negative external influences of a corruption-prone national culture. Moreover, spill-over effects of an integrity-promoting company culture can make an important contribution to national cultural change. For this reason, an integrity-promoting corporate culture is a contribution to corporate social responsibility.Table of ContentsChapter 1. State of Research and Methods.- Chapter 2.

De Gruyter Corporate Control of White-Collar Crime: A
Book SynopsisTraditionally, corporate control is all about top-down approaches to management of employees. Executives attempt to influence employees toward achieving business goals, and they attempt to prevent and detect wrongdoing, misconduct, and crime among employees. However, top-down approaches to corporate control do not work when executives and other privileged individuals in the business themselves commit and conceal their wrongdoing, misconduct, and crime in organizational settings. Then there is a need for a bottom-up approach in corporate control as outlined in this book. Bottom-up control refers to the manner in which organizational members can use different types of control mechanisms – such as whistleblowing, transparency, resource access, or culture – to monitor, measure, and evaluate executives’ avoidance of deviant behaviors and influence them toward achieving the organization’s goals in efficient and effective ways. The newly emerging perspective of a social license to operate forms part of the bottom-up strategy where criminalization becomes social property independent of the criminal justice system. The social license is predominantly centered on social permission for business activity where the media, social movements, and citizen watchdogs exert pressure, demand change, and bring top management to account. This book presents a novel approach to corporate control of white-collar crime based on the theory of convenience. White-collar crime is financial crime committed by privileged individuals who have legitimate access to resources based on the power and trust inherent through their professional positions. Convenience theory proposes that motive, opportunity, and willingness are the three dimensions that underlie white-collar crime in an organizational context. This book contributes to the study of white-collar criminality through a blend of theoretical discussions and practical materials that illuminate and support the use of convenience theory. The book discusses how bottom-up approaches can overcome the difficulty of detecting white-collar crime and overcome the barriers of preventing executive deviance.

De Gruyter The Convenience of Corporate Crime: Financial
Book Synopsis As documented in a number of case studies (from Telia Telecom in Sweden to Wirecard in Germany) in this book, recidivism seems to be of a substantial magnitude in corporate crime. Corporations tend to repeat white-collar offenses such as financial crime and environmental crime in various forms as long as they find it convenient. A minor fine from time to time and dismissal of some executives as scapegoats do not prevent corporations from committing and concealing new offenses as long as there is a convenient financial motive, a convenient organizational opportunity, and a convenient willingness for deviant behavior. Businesses and their executives tend to be recidivists who get away with light punishment in most jurisdictions. The relevant audiences for this book include law students, business students, sociology students, and criminology students. Fraud examiners, defense attorneys, compliance officers, police investigators, as well as prosecutors can find the structural model of convenience to be an ideal template in preparing corporate crime case narratives.

Peter Lang AG Die Europaeisierung Des Strafrechts Auf Dem
Book SynopsisGeldwäsche ist eine staatenübergreifende Problematik und als solche im Fokus der Europäischen Union. Diese nimmt durch ihre Gesetzgebung zunehmend Einfluss auf die Regelungen zur Geldwäschebekämpfung in den Mitgliedstaaten, zuletzt durch die erste Richtlinie zur strafrechtlichen Bekämpfung der Geldwäsche. Die Umsetzung dieser Richtlinie nahm der deutsche Gesetzgeber Anfang 2021 zum Anlass, den Geldwäschetatbestand im Strafgesetzbuch grundlegend zu reformieren. In diesem Buch wird untersucht, ob durch die vorgenommenen Änderungen hinsichtlich der geldwäschetauglichen Vortaten und der Beibehaltung der Möglichkeit der leichtfertigen Geldwäsche die Geldwäschebekämpfung künftig effektiver sein wird. Zudem untersucht die Autorin, ob die vorgenommenen Änderungen mit dem Grundgesetz vereinbar sind. Für herausgearbeitete Problematiken werden im Anschluss Lösungsansätze aufgezeigt.
