Corporate Crime in America: Strengthening the Good Citizen Corporation. Proceedings of the Second Symposium on Crime and Punishment in the United States

摘要

On September 7-8, 1995, approximately 450 people gathered in Washington, D.C., for the U.S. Sentencing Commissions second symposium on crime and punishment, Corporate Crime in America: Strengthening the Good Citizen Corporation. The symposium focused on the ways in which companies, industries, and enforcement officials have responded to the organizational sentencing guidelines carrot and stick incentives and other changes in the enforcement landscape that encourage businesses to develop strong compliance programs and adopt crime-controlling measures. Participants included a wide range of federal enforcement officials, representatives of Fortune 500 as well as smaller corporations, private attorneys and other consultants who advise organizations, and academics who focus on business ethics and crime. The Sentencing Commission sponsored this second symposium on crime and punishment in furtherance of its various authorities to collect and disseminate information on sound sentencing policies and practices (see 28 U.S.C. SCSC 991-98).
