Abstract

A year in corporate crime
Sherrill, Robert | April 7, 1997 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about corporate crime in the U.S. The stories, published in the Wall Street Journal, despite their relative restraint and sober factuality, display a panorama of civil and criminal corruption, sleaze, unhinged greed and other antisocial antics of some of the businesses that shape people's lives. Frequently, where criminal charges could have been brought, offenders were tapped with lesser counts of civil misconduct and they agreed to make a settlement before trial, precluding the possibility of much heavier financial punishment. The social consciousness of the corporate offender often seems to resemble that of the small-town thief.
