About Canada: Corporate Crime by Laureen Snider Pdf

When corporations misbehave the consequences are devastating. The monetary costs of the 2008 financial crisis, a direct result of financial mismanagement, were in the trillions, and yet none of those responsible were held to account. The monetary costs of Criminal Code theft pale in comparison, and yet our prisons are filled with people who commit “street theft.” In order to understand why governments, regulators, unions, activists and community groups have such a difficult time preventing and sanctioning corporate criminals we must first recognize the vital role of corporate economic power. Focusing on crimes against workers/employees, and the environment and financial crimes, About Canada: Corporate Crime traces the ways that particular systems of government — from nineteenth-century crony capitalism to neoliberalism and globalized capitalism — develop policies regarding the socially harmful and illegal behaviour of corporations. This book shows why governments are reluctant to pass, enforce and administer meaningful regulation of corporations: institutions and actors with the power to put thousands of potential voters out of work, generate negative commentaries from highly respected experts, and produce critical editorials from 80 percent of Canadian media (owned and controlled, let us remember, by many of these same corporations). Assessing the present state and future prospects of corporate crime, this book asks: How did we get here? What do we know about corporate crime? Why does it matter? and What are the main issues/developments today? In the end, it asks the most important question of all: How can political and economic systems be changed to prevent, or at the very least mitigate, the tremendous damage corporate activities are inflicting on human lives, health, jobs, communities and economies?

Wealth by Stealth by H. J. Glasbeek Pdf

How is it that corporations are able to behave irresponsibly, criminally, and undemocratically? "Wealth by Stealth" is a scathing introduction to the operations of the modern corporation, written by a corporate lawyer. Many writers point to the growth of undemocratic corporate power. Glasbeek takes these observations further and outlines clearly how corporations become so powerful. He also shows how they are able to act without regard to the behaviour and laws governing citizens and other groups. Glasbeek is known by generations of students for his brilliant, funny lectures at Osgoode Hall Law School. With "Wealth by Stealth" his informative critique of corporate behaviour becomes available and accessible to all. How is it "The corporation makes them do it"?

Corporate Crime by Laureen Snider Pdf

"Corporations are responsible for an immense number of deaths and injuries, for massive environmental destruction and financial damage, but they are seldom help accountable for their acts. The monetary costs of the 2008 financial crisis, a crisis created by high level mismanagement and fraud, were in the trillions, yet to this day none of those responsible has served a day in prison. Governments compete to devise ever greater punishments for street criminals, whose offences collectively cause far less social and economic harm, but corporate criminals, if called to account at all, receive second chances and fines that are trivial compared to profit levels. In About Canada: Corporate Crime, Laureen Snider traces the ways that particular systems of government -- from ninteenth-century crony capitalism to today's neoliberal democracies -- develop policies regarding the socially harmful and illegal behaviour of corporations. This book shows why governments are reluctant to pass, enforce and administer meaningful regulation of corporations: they are institutions with the power to put thousands of potential voters out of work, generate negative commentaries from highly respected experts and produce critical editorials from 80 percent of Canadian media (owed and controlled, let us remember, by many of these same corporations). In the end, Snider asks the most important question of all : How can we change our political and economic systems to prevent, or at the very least mitigate, the tremendous damage corporate activities are inflicting on human lives, health, jobs, communities and economies?" --

Iced by Stephen Schneider Pdf

"You're lucky he didn't have an ice pick in his hands. I know how this guy performs." -Mobster Paul Volpe speaking about a Buffalo-mafia enforcer named "Cicci" Canada is lauded the world over as a law abiding, peaceful country - a shining example to all nations. Such a view, also shared by most Canadians, is typically naïve and misinformed. Throughout its history, to present day and beyond, Canada has been and will continue to be home to criminals and crime organizations that are brilliant at finding ways to make money - a lot of money - illegally. Iced: The Story of Organized Crime in Canada is a remarkable parallel history to the one generally accepted and taught in our schools. Organized crime has had a significant impact on the shaping of this country and the lives of its people. The most violent and thuggish - outlaw motorcycle gangs like Hells Angels - have been raised to mythic proportions. The families who owned distilleries during Prohibition, such as the Bronfmans, built vast fortunes that today are vested in corporate holdings. The mafia in Montreal created and controlled the largest heroin and cocaine smuggling empire in the world, feeding the insatiable appetite of our American neighbours. Today, gangs are laying waste the streets of Vancouver, and "BC bud" flows into the U.S. as the marijuana of choice. Organized crime is as old as this nation's founding, with pirates ravaging the east coast, even as hired guns by colonial governments. Since our nation's earliest times, government and crime groups have found that collusion can have its mutual benefits. Comprehensive, informative and entertaining - as you will discover in the remarkable period pieces devised by the author and the illustrations commissioned specially for this book - Iced is a romp across the nation and across the centuries. In these pages you will meet crime groups that are at once sordid and inept, yet resourceful entrepreneurs and self-proclaimed champions of the underdog, who operate in full sight of their communities and the law. This is the definitive book on organized crime in Canada, and a unique contribution to our understanding of Canadian history.

Canada's White Collar Crimes by Caroline E Covell Pdf

White-collar crimes are crimes committed by those of high social status, those with reputation, businesses, government professionals, including the elected and appointed officials. Canada's White-Collar Crimes go beyond this. From white-collar crimes to red-collar crimes, and to the colonization of the public institutions by two famous political creations: the CRA "Corporation" and Service Canada. These two political creation are private companies created to take over the public service in a hostile manner, politically, deceitfully, and manipulatively. They take over the nation's logistics. Service Canada also created its "phantom" company that declares itself as the "Department of Employment and Social Development Canada." Things they do from the day of their creation are illegal. They become a modern tyrants, human rights violators, undemocratic and turn the government system to be a system of ignorance and arrogance. All for the love of money. It is a story of public betrayal, power abuse, and personal greed. As they colonize the government and control the government, they tainted the system to be a system of systemic corruption, collusion, and bribery, a system of systemic lie, deceitfulness, manipulation, and a system of financial brutality.

Corporate Crime and Civil Liability by Gordon E. Kaiser Pdf

"Given the prevalence of corporate crime today, this area of law is no longer within the domain of just specialized litigators, but all corporate lawyers. In this well-researched text, all four areas of corporate crime are covered in one place: offences pertaining to competition law, securities regulation, commercial fraud, and bribery and corruption. While most other legal textbooks discuss commercial crime (crimes committed by individuals in business dealings), this book explores crimes committed by the corporation, a subject area that is difficult, if not impossible, to find in Canadian law books."--Pub. desc.

The Handbook of White-Collar Crime by Melissa L. Rorie Pdf

A comprehensive and state-of the-art overview from internationally-recognized experts on white-collar crime covering a broad range of topics from many perspectives Law enforcement professionals and criminal justice scholars have debated the most appropriate definition of “white-collar crime” ever since Edwin Sutherland first coined the phrase in his speech to the American Sociological Society in 1939. The conceptual ambiguity surrounding the term has challenged efforts to construct a body of science that meaningfully informs policy and theory. The Handbook of White-Collar Crime is a unique re-framing of traditional discussions that discusses common topics of white-collar crime—who the offenders are, who the victims are, how these crimes are punished, theoretical explanations—while exploring how the choice of one definition over another affects research and scholarship on the subject. Providing a one-volume overview of research on white-collar crime, this book presents diverse perspectives from an international team of both established and newer scholars that review theory, policy, and empirical work on a broad range of topics. Chapters explore the extent and cost of white-collar crimes, individual- as well as organizational- and macro-level theories of crime, law enforcement roles in prevention and intervention, crimes in Africa and South America, the influence of technology and globalization, and more. This important resource: Explores diverse implications for future theory, policy, and research on current and emerging issues in the field Clarifies distinct characteristics of specific types of offences within the general archetype of white-collar crime Includes chapters written by researchers from countries commonly underrepresented in the field Examines the real-world impact of ambiguous definitions of white-collar crime on prevention, investigation, and punishment Offers critical examination of how definitional decisions steer the direction of criminological scholarship Accessible to readers at the undergraduate level, yet equally relevant for experienced practitioners, academics, and researchers, The Handbook of White-Collar Crime is an innovative, substantial contribution to contemporary scholarship in the field.

The Corporate Criminal by Steve Tombs,David Whyte Pdf

Drawing upon a wide range of sources of empirical evidence, historical analysis and theoretical argument, this book shows beyond any doubt that the private, profit-making, corporation is a habitual and routine offender. The book dissects the myth that the corporation can be a rational, responsible, 'citizen'. It shows how in its present form, the corporation is permitted, licensed and encouraged to systematically kill, maim and steal for profit. Corporations are constructed through law and politics in ways that impel them to cause harm to people and the environment. In other words, criminality is part of the DNA of the modern corporation. Therefore, the authors argue, the corporation cannot be easily reformed. The only feasible solution to this 'crime' problem is to abolish the legal and political privileges that enable the corporation to act with impunity.
