Corporate Crime

Daniel R Fischel and Alan O Sykes

The Journal of Legal Studies, 1996, vol. 25, issue 2, 319-49

Abstract: Corporate criminal liability is a relatively new development in American law, although it has been expanding rapidly. We argue that there is no need for corporate criminal liability in a legal system with appropriate civil remedies and that corporate criminal liability in practice produces serious problems of overdeterrence.
