Corporate & Government Deviance 2e
The new edition of this popular reader presents the cutting edge of research on corporate and governmental deviance in the U.S. today. Seventy-five percent of the readings are new and include the work of such major figures as James S. Coleman, Lawrence W. Sherman, Edwin H. Sutherland, Marshall B. Clinard, Gilbert Geis, Brent Fisse, and John Braithwaite. Using such instructive cases as the heavy electrical equipment antitrust cases, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, the campaign against marketing infant formula in the Third World, and the Ford Motor Company's Pinto, this text helps students to understand how organizations, not just individuals, commit deviant acts.

It was for school and now it's for me
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I had only bought this book for a course in university but we only had to do the first five chapters. I had to go on with it though. The cases are all extremely well written and did an amazing job of showing me how insane the corporate world can be. It's a great book if you're looking for something to change your perspectives on the ethics of todays business society and the major differences between "white collar" and traditional crimes.
