Three decades ago, corporations and corporate directors wererarely prosecuted for crimes, and penalties for corporate crimeswere relatively light. Today, this is no longer true. Under thecorporate sentencing guidelines and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,corporate wrongdoers can receive substantial penalties. Do thesedevelopments mean that corporations are committing more crimestoday than in the past? Will stricter laws be effective in curbingcorporate criminal activity? How can a company avoid liability forcrimes committed by its employees?
