Corporate Compliance
Compliance has long been identified by scholars of white-collar crime as a key strategic control device in the regulation of corporations and complex organisations. Nevertheless, this essential process has been largely ignored within criminology as a specific subject for close scrutiny – Corporate Compliance: Crime, Convenience and Control seeks to address this anomaly. This initiating book applies the theory of convenience to provide criminological insight into the enduring self-regulatory phenomenon of corporate compliance. Convenience theory suggests that compliance is challenged when the corporation has a strong financial motive for illegitimate profits, ample organisational opportunities to commit and conceal wrongdoing, and executive willingness for deviant behaviour. Focusing on white-collar deviance and crime within corporations, the book argues that lack of compliance is recurrently a matter of deviant behaviour by senior executives within organisations who abuse their privileged positions to commission, commit and conceal financial crime.
Myths and Misunderstandings in White Collar Crime
"For years, commentators have complained that white-collar crime is both overcriminalized and underenforced. This book transcends that debate and argues that white-collar crime's weaknesses rest on how we make its laws, how we enforce them, and how we talk about enforcing them"--

The Regulation of International Commercial Arbitration
This book addresses how the regulation of international commercial arbitrators takes place. International commercial arbitrators are a unique category of service providers because they are not organised as other professionals such as accountants, lawyers and doctors. The book provides an overview of how and why the regulation of international commercial arbitrators diverged from that of other professions. It also argues that, despite these differences, there is an effective regulatory environment overseeing the behaviour of international commercial arbitrators. The book unpicks the different elements that contribute to the creation and enforcement of professional norms in this field. It expl...
Big Dirty Money
"Taub explicitly and persuasively places the breakdown of enforcement and accountability in the context of money and class."--The New York Times How ordinary Americans suffer when the rich and powerful use tax dodges or break the law to get richer and more powerful--and how we can stop it. There is an elite crime spree happening in America, and the privileged perps are getting away with it. Selling loose cigarettes on a city sidewalk can lead to a choke-hold arrest, and death, if you are not among the top 1%. But if you're rich and commit mail, wire, or bank fraud, embezzle pension funds, lie in court, obstruct justice, bribe a public official, launder money, or cheat on your taxes, you're l...
Corporate Conformance in Practice
In recent years, conformance rather than compliance has gained attention in executive suites. While compliance with laws, regulations, statutes, and other formal legal frameworks for corporate activity have been on the agenda for several decades, conformance with norms, values, ethics, and guidelines expected by stakeholders and others in society is recently reaching the top of executive agendas. An important reason in this shift of attention from compliance to conformance is the speed as well as severity of damage and harm from breaches and violations of the social license to operate, as compared to violations of the legal license to operate. While a legal process in the criminal justice sy...
Corporate Internal Fraud Investigations
The industry of corporate investigation has grown in recent years where companies hire fraud examiners to investigate suspicions of misconduct and crime. While case studies have been published in the past, this book has a number of new case studies that combine both offender convenience, and investigation maturity. Information retrieved from publicly available internal investigation reports – in some cases, supplemented other sources such as media coverage – is allocated to the analysis of convenience in an attempt to assess motive, opportunity, and willingness. These three dimensions of convenience – motive based on possibilities or threats; opportunity to commit and conceal wrongdoing; and willingness to commit deviant behavior – are corners in the convenience triangle. The book will appeal to business and management scholars, for courses on business ethics and financial crime. In schools of criminology, the book is especially relevant in courses on white-collar and corporate crime. In addition, managers in public and private organizations; those in corporate governance; and practicing fraud investigations will benefit from this book.
