Silver Terp Seminars: The "Corporate" Criminal Career

In this fascinating talk, Dr. Sally S. Simpson, Distinguished University Professor (Emerita) of Criminology and Criminal Justice at UMD, explores how corporations develop “criminal careers” of their own and how their patterns both mirror and differ from those of individuals. Using real-world case studies, Dr. Simpson examines how companies participate in, repeat, and diversify their offenses, and how long their wrongdoing lasts. She also highlights what these insights mean for organizations, policymakers, and legal authorities seeking to prevent corporate crime.
