Economic Criminology: A Convenience Theory Approach

Emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, are considered in terms of how they can be and are used in detecting and preventing economic crime, drawing on real-world case studies and theoretical integration from the fields of management, law, and the social sciences to clarify and support the claims made. By adding a criminological perspective to the legal view of corporate and individual criminal liability, readers are taught to think about economic criminology not only in terms of a lack of compliance regarding the legal license to operate, but also as a lack of conformance regarding the social license to operate.

Economic Criminology is an essential title for readers specializing in law and criminal justice, forming the foundation for special perspectives such as white-collar crime, corporate criminal liability, and compliance and conformance violation.
