Nominated for the 1996 Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences Outstanding Book AwardUsing officially recorded information, The Organization of Corporate Crime examines structural and environmental factors that influence corporate executives to use illegal, anticompetitive means to achieve corporate goals. Based on a study of complex organizations and interorganizational behavior, Katherine Jamieson explores issues of causation related to deviant behavior. Describing and explaining this type of deviant behavior, the book adds significantly to the existing literature on white-collar crime and in particular, property-related corporate crime. The author includes a comprehensive quantitative presentation, as well as a qualitative approach, by including personal interviews conducted with federal government regulators responsible for antitrust enforcement. The material is enhanced by the use of an aggregate analytical method as opposed to the single case study technique.With an interdisciplinary approach to the study of corporate crime, The Organization of Corporate Crime is ideal for upper-level undergraduate courses or graduate students in Criminal Justice, Criminology, Sociology, and Public Administration."The Organization of Corporate Crime provides a rich understanding of corporate antitrust offenses ranging from the more egregious horizontal agreements . . . to the less egregious yet harmful vertical schemes. . . . The introductory chapters provide a cogent overview of organizational white-collar crime."--The Criminologist
