Relationship between Criminology and Corporate Sector: A Critical Analysis

Abstract

This study employs a qualitative research approach to investigate the complex relationship between criminology, business activities, and the historical and geographical disparities in criminal legislation. This study aims to examine the efficacy and complexities associated with the application of criminal law to businesses by drawing a comparison between the system's treatment of corporate misconduct and that of crimes perpetrated by individuals. The collection of data mostly relies on secondary sources. The research employs a qualitative methodology. The findings indicate that the management of corporate misbehavior differs from that of individual infractions, hence presenting difficulties in terms of enforcement and punishment. The study's findings indicate that laws and societal standards have a substantial impact on the criminalization of specific actions. The researchers reached the conclusion that enhancing the enforcement procedures, enacting legislation safeguarding whistleblowers, enhancing corporate governance, and implementing public awareness efforts that include the community via education might potentially enhance the efficacy of the criminal justice system in addressing corporate crime.
