Corporate crime

This unit helps you learn to analyse and evaluate criminal conduct in the business world. It will highlight conduct relevant to corporate organisations which may lead to criminal (or other serious penalties) being imposed on corporations and/or individuals. Areas covered may include industrial manslaughter, serious cartel conduct, liability for defective disclosure, liability related to data privacy, and insider trading. It considers the legal and practical difficulties which arise in detecting and prosecuting corporate crime, and uses real-life scandals as case studies to give you practical knowledge that will serve as useful context in your future professional lives.
