Description: | Select Guide Rating This book presents a comprehensive account of European white-collar crime, focusing on its history, methods of measuring its extent, its regulation, governance and enforcement, as well as its specific European character. The editors have gathered together the leading voices in the field and specific case studies are discussed at length. A final section offers commentaries on European white-collar crime from two eminent criminologists. The study of white-collar crime remains a central concern for criminologists around the world and research concentrates on its nature, prevalence, causes and responses. However, most books on white-collar crime tend to focus on Anglo-American examples, which is surprising given the amount of rich data and research taking place in mainland Europe. This new handbook seeks to reset the balance and, for the first time, presents an overview of state-of-the-art research on white-collar crime in Europe. The editors have gathered together the leading voices in the field and a final section offers commentaries on white-collar crime in Europe from eminent criminologists David Friedrichs and Hazel Croall. This Handbook will thus serve as a work of reference for all scholars and students engaged in the study of corporate and white-collar crime and will also set out directions for new research in the future. |
