As documented in a number of case studies (from Telia Telecom in
Sweden to Wirecard in Germany) in this book, recidivism seems to be of
a substantial magnitude in corporate crime. Corporations tend to
repeat white-collar offenses such as financial crime and environmental
crime in various forms as long as they find it convenient. A minor
fine from time to time and dismissal of some executives as scapegoats
do not prevent corporations from committing and concealing new
offenses as long as there is a convenient financial motive, a
convenient organizational opportunity, and a convenient willingness
for deviant behavior. Businesses and their executives tend to be
recidivists who get away with light punishment in most jurisdictions.
The relevant audiences for this book include law students, business
students, sociology students, and criminology students. Fraud
examiners, defense attorneys, compliance officers, police
investigators, as well as prosecutors can find the structural model of
convenience to be an ideal template in preparing corporate crime case
narratives.
