Book Synopsis

Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

'White-collar' and organizational crimes such as fraud and corruption receive relatively little attention from researchers. This edited collection redresses the balance with groundbreaking research and fresh perspectives on these crimes. A new generation of scholars investigate both new and old forms of crime such as the little-studied areas of sports fraud and the deviant subcultures within organizations that can lead to wrongdoing.

Recognising the profound harms stemming from these illicit activities, this book provides a state-of-the-art handbook for researchers and policy-makers in understanding and controlling these ever-evolving crimes.

Review Quotes

'This thoughtful collection explores how organisational and broader societal norms shape criminal behaviours within legitimate business settings including the sports sector, agri-food and art fairs. Collectively, the book shows that European white-collar crime and crime control research and theorization is in a good place. Long may it continue.' Mike Levi, Cardiff University

'Many scientific fields experience periods of stagnation, with few new developments to propel them forward, so established scholars and budding criminologists will be heartened by this volume. These cutting-edge projects should inspire and motivate you to get to work!' Sally S. Simpson, University of Maryland
