Traditionally, corporate wrongdoing was often criminalised using conventional criminal justice methods and the ordinary police were often charged with the responsibility of enforcing the law. Since the 1990s, however, the conventional crime monopoly on corporate deviancy has become fragmented because a variety of specialist, interdisciplinary agencies with enhanced powers now address corporate wrongdoing. The exclusive dominance of conventional crime methods has also faded because corporate wrongdoing is now specifically addressed by a pyramidal enforcement architecture, taking compliance orientated and sanctioning approaches, using both civil and criminal enforcement mechanisms, where criminal law is now the sanction of last resort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCorporate and white-collar crime in Ireland is the first monograph to analyse the transitio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Joe McGrath's study of the regulation of corporate and white-collar crime in Ireland is timely and important...What emerges is an impressive, context-sensitive account of policy change which links legal forms to cultural, social and historical factors in an enlightening and insightful way.'\u003cbr\u003ePaul Almond, University of Reading, Dublin University Law Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Not only is Dr McGrath's work topical, it is essential...Dr McGrath's work provides an invaluable record of Ireland's experience of corporate and white-collar crime.
