ROUNDTABLE Exploring new approaches to the study of corporate crime

Session Submission Type: Roundtable

Abstract

Corporate and white-collar crime have garnered increased attention in recent years due to their pervasive impacts on economies, societies, and individual lives. Understanding corporate crime is crucial in a contemporary landscape where traditional (criminological) models may fall short in capturing the multifaceted dimensions of these offenses. In this roundtable, the participants will engage in a discussion regarding fresh approaches in the examination of white-collar and corporate crime.

The session brings together a dynamic group of young scholars dedicated to exploring novel theories, methodologies, and approaches in the study of white-collar and corporate crime. Each discussant will present their unique contributions, offering insights into the latest developments in the study of corporate crime. This includes the application of developmental theories, the intersection of research and practice of corporate compliance, and the utilization of new methods and concepts to study old issues. Further, the discussion will focus on the interconnectedness of various fields including sociology, psychology, and business studies. Through the adoption of a multidisciplinary perspective, our aim is to further untangle the complexity of white-collar and corporate crime and advance the boundaries set by current frameworks.
