Corporate and White Collar Crime or Creating Breakthrough Ideas

Corporate and White Collar Crime: Cases and Materials

Author: Kathleen F Brickey

In this eagerly awaited Second Edition, distinguished scholar Kathleen Brickey thoroughly updates her superbly written, comprehensive casebook CORPORATE AND WHITE COLLAR CRIME: Cases and Materials to keep pace with this fast—moving area.

Logically organized, the book begins with two chapters that explore the theories under which criminal liability is imposed on corporations and individuals. From there, Brickey addresses the basic principles of criminal liability and systematically examines the major federal statutes commonly invoked in prosecution. Topics range from mail fraud, perjury, and obstruction of justice to bribery, RICO, tax crimes, and workplace death and injury. For each crime, Professor Brickey focuses on the basic principles of corporate and criminal liability and the major cases involved.

The Second Edition includes:

increased coverage of RICO, including new developments at the Surpreme Court level and reform efforts in Congress

important new Supreme Court decisions, including National Organization for Women v. Scheidler, Reves v. Ernst & young, and Alexander v. United States

an extensively revised conspiracy chapter

coverage of the first corporate death sentence case under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations

an expanded chapter on environmental crimes, including material on the knowing endangerment provision of the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and CERCLA

Brickey enhances student understanding through problems, case studies, and excerpts from articles that illustrate the context of the issues. In addition, a statutory supplement accompanies the casebook.
