Preferred term

corporate crime  

Definition

  • Corporate crime, which is often denoted economic or organizational crime, is distinguishable from occupational crime in that the primary objective of the illicit activity is to benefit the socioeconomic-legal collective known as the corporation, though the corporate actors may also benefit individually (e.g., financial performance bonus, commissions). Corporate crime occurs in the name of the employing and reporting legal entity. [Source: Encyclopedia of Criminal Justice Ethics; Corporate Crime]
