Sommario/riassunto

This volume examines the causes and consequences of crime and corruption in organizations, and the choices we face in our efforts to eradicate these social maladies. This is the most up-to-date thinking on both classic and novel approaches to crime and corruption, as well as the most scientifically-grounded approaches to reducing illicit behaviour in organizations.
