BUSS4940: Corporate Crime, Regulation and Society

2022 unit information

Corporate Crime, Regulation and Society adopts an inter-disciplinary approach to assess how and why law and regulation of business is constructed, evaluates their strengths and weaknesses, and assesses the impact on business and society. Corporate crime includes those committed against companies (often by their own employees or managers); crimes committed by companies against others (including members of the public, the environment, creditors, investors and competing companies); and "white collar" crimes undertaken within companies by senior executives and managers for their own benefit.
