The Corporation in Criminology: New Directions for Research

VICTORIA L. SWIGERT

Beginning with the work of Edwin Sutherland, contributions to the study of corporate crime have been prescriptive in orientation. Such a value stance, it is argued, has clouded empirical investigation of the issue. This article suggests an alternative approach, one oriented toward a definitional perspective on crime. Within this framework, attention may be shifted to empirically neutral questions regarding the causes and processes of changing conceptions of corporate liability.
