"Corporate counsel have increasingly found themselves thrust into the role of a criminal defense lawyer. A corporate compliance program is one method of reducing a corporation's exposure to criminal liability. This Article examines the benefits corporate compliance programs bring to corporations and demonstrates the ways these programs minimize corporations' criminal and civil liabilities. This Article analyzes the nature of corporate criminal liability and the responsibility placed upon officers and directors to minimize fines. The Article further analyzes the use of compliance programs in negotiations, trial, sentencing, and civil cases. Counsel will also be alerted to potential problems which may arise through the use of a corporate compliance program. Finally, the Article discusses the ethical responsibilities of corporate counsel regarding contact with potential witness/'target' defendant employees."

[p. 339] "L’examen de quelques faits contemporains fait apparaître la multiplicité des forces sociales qui accélèrent ou retardent l’individualisation de la responsabilité. Nos sociétés poussent plus loin qu’aucune autre avant elles le culte de la personne humaine. Et cependant nous voyons notre moralité et notre droit s’ouvrir à des formes nouvelles de l’idée d’une responsabilité communicable. Formes et applications nouvelles, disons-nous. Car il ne s’agit ni de survivances, ni de retours vers le passé.En premier lieu, la responsabilité pénale des associations, fondations, syndicats, bref de ce que les juristes appellent des "personnes morales", semble à la veille de s’introduire et de s’épanouir dans nos législations1. Les jurisconsultes, suivant la tradition romaine, enseignaient, jusqu’à ces dernières années, que ces personnes morales sont des fictions juridiques et ne sauraient, comme telles, se rendre coupables de délits. Ils approuvaient donc la loi et la jurisprudence qui ne les déclarent jamais pénalement responsables. Mais la théorie de la fiction est désormais insoutenable. Nous sommes aujourd’hui tout pénétrés de cette idée que les groupes sociaux ont une conscience, donc une personnalité et une volonté distinctes de celles de leur membres. Il n’y a donc aucune raison théorique pour qu’on leur refuse l’aptitude à délinquer. Et comme,

[p. 340] d’autre part, les associations de toute nature ont repris dans les sociétés contemporaines un rôle important, il est de plus en plus nécessaire de reconnaître, comme contre-partie à la liberté et aux droits toujours plus étendus que nous leur accordons, leur responsabilité pénale. Aussi un mouvement doctrinal très important, dont on peut prévoir qu’il entraînera la jurisprudence et la législation, s’est-il produit en Allemagne, puis en France, dans les dernières années du XIXe siècle. On propose de déclarer les personnes morales pénalement responsables et de leur appliquer les diverses peines comminées contre l’individu, sous réserve des modifications nécessaires : celles qui les frapperaient dans leur vie (dissolution), dans leur liberté (bannissement, interdiction de séjour), dans leurs droits civils et politiques, dans leur considération et surtout dans leur patrimoine. Les défenseurs de ce système cherchent volontiers, dans la responsabilité collective des groupes domestiques et territoriaux, telle que le droit pénal l’a connue autrefois, un précédent et une justification1. La responsabilité moderne des personnes morales serait une sorte de retour à une tradition ancienne. Mais il y a là une assimilation de choses en réalité très différentes. La doctrine qui reconnaît l’aptitude de l’être collectif à délinquer veut en effet que la peine frappe, pour son délit, la personne morale comme telle, et non les individus qui la composent. On pourra dissoudre l’association, on ne condamnera pas à mort un quelconque, plusieurs, ou la totalité des membres. On confisquera le patrimoine social, mais si les cotisants ou actionnaires sont ainsi indirectement atteints, leur patrimoine propre, non engagé dans les affaires de l’association, reste à l’abri de toute atteinte, même si la personne morale est insolvable. Ainsi, contrairement aux règles anciennes, la responsabilité du groupe et celle des individus

1 Cf. Mestre, op. cit., Append. II, p. 304 : responsabilité pénale des communes sous l’empire de la loi du 10 vendémiaire an IV; Appendix. III, p. 308 : Responsabilité collective en Algérie.
[p. 341] sont soigneusement distinguées. Il y a là, si l’on veut, un nouvel aspect de la responsabilité collective, mais aussi une application conséquente du principe de la responsabilité individuelle. C’est parce que le groupe est un individu, que sa responsabilité se superpose à celle des individus composants. Il serait injuste de punir les présidents et les administrateurs pour des fautes qui sont celles de l’association. Bien loin qu’on soit ici indiférent à l’incidence de la peine, on raffine pour distinguer les individualités les unes des autres. Cette responsabilité est bien "collective". Mais on voit qu'elle est aussi individuelle, puisqu'elle n'a été reconnue que le jour où la personnalité des groupes a cessé d'être tenue pour une fiction. L'histoire des efforts faits par la doctrine, pour élaborer cette notion nouvelle, témoigne de son originalité."

"Abstract
There continues to be increasing public and governmental concern regarding business ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR). One dimension of the response to such concern is the introduction of law intended positively to induce socially responsible conduct as well as deter irresponsible behaviour. The Federal Corporate Sentencing Guidelines (FCSG) are a relatively well established instance of such law. In this paper, we consider the effects that the principal provisions of the FCSG would have on a hypothetical rational self-interested firm. By this device, we deduce what sorts of conduct are invited by the FCSG and what sorts are deterred. In assuming that the firm is rational, we embody the express intent of the FCSG to influence the conduct of firms in general. In taking our hypothetical firm to be selfinterested, we isolate the effects of the FCSG from other motives to participation in CSR activities."

"Abstract
Psychologists interested in law and public policy have begun to examine the nature of corporations in American society and the serious consequences of corporate irresponsibility. The dominant trend identifies areas where corporate behavior falls short of ethical standards or leads to unacceptably risky decisions and suggests ways to reform corporations or the laws that regulate them. This well-intentioned approach is consistent with psychology's liberal reformist tendency. Unfortunately, it neither challenges the flawed psychological underpinnings of the legal fiction that corporations are legal persons nor compensates sufficiently for the dynamics of individual behavior in corporate settings. Instead, psychologists should advocate fundamental restructuring of our corporate society." (source: http://www.dennisfox.net/papers/corps-article.html, accessed on 11 April 2004)

"Notre droit ignore la responsabilité pénale des personnes morales. Il n'a pas suivi, ainsi, l'exemple de l'Angleterre et des Etats-Unis et que beaucoup pensent être inspiré par une vision plus réaliste de la nécessité d'une repression pénale efficace contre de dangereuses formes de criminalité. Certainement, les personnes morales ne sont pas capables de faute et on ne peut pas leur imposer de véritables peines criminelles. Les mesures imposées sont de nature administrative ou constituent d'authentiques mesures de sûreté (dissolution de la société, suspension d'activité pour un temps déterminé, restriction de la sphère d'action, confiscation, etc.).Il est incontestable que, de nos jours, de grandes organisations commerciales apparaissent comme un instrument d'un nouveau genre de criminalité, de celui que Sutherland appelait, à juste titre, white collar crime. Cette criminalité est apparue avec l'organisation d'entreprises commerciales de grande envergure qui, d'une manière très efficace, déploient de vastes activités antisociales en vue de l'obtention de grands bénéfices. Malgré tout, prévaut le jugement que ce fait nouveau, irrécusable, n'altère pas les termes du problème en ce qui concerne la responsabilité pénale, demandée, des personnes morales.
Au Brésil, nous restons fidèles au principe latin Societas delinquere non potest. Toutefois, selon la tendance générale de la législation, notre droit contient des dispositions qui visent à la répression de l'abus du pouvoir économique (loi no 4137, 10 sept. 1962), établissant de lourdes sanctions applicables aux sociétés commerciales.

De la manière de faire le procès aux communautés des villes, bourgs et villages, corps et compagniesART 1. Le procès sera fait aux communautés des villes, bourgs et villages, corps et compagnies qui auront commis quelque rébellion, violence ou autre crime.
2. Elles seront tenues pour cet effet de nommer un Syndic ou Député, selon qu’il sera ordonné par le juge, et à leur refus, il nommera d’office un curateur.
3. Le syndic, le député ou curateur, subira les interrogatoires, et la confrontation des témoins, et sera employé dans toutes les procédures en la même qualité et non dans le dispositif du jugement, qui sera rendu seulement contre les communautés, et compagnies.
4. Les condamnations ne pourront être que de réparation civile, domages et intérêts envers la partie, d’amende envers nous, privation de leurs priviléges, et de quelque autre punition qui marque publiquement la peine qu’elles auront encourue par leur crime.
5. Outre les poursuites qui se feront contre les communautés, voulons que le procès soit fait aux principaux auteurs du crime et à leurs complices; mais s’ils font condamnés en quelque peine pécuniaire, ils ne pourront être tenus de celles auxquelles les communautés auront été condamnées."

____________Avant-projet de code pénal. Livre premier. Dispositions générales, Paris : Ministère de la justice, 1983, 1 v. (pagination multiples); copie à l'Université d'Ottawa, FTX General, KJV 7974.31810 .F732 1983;"LES GROUPEMENTS A OBJET COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIEL OU FINANCIERLes articles 21071, 21072 et 21073 sont entièrement novateurs et créent le principe de la responsabilité pénale des personnes morales. Le principe est certes très éloigné des conceptions du droit pénal classique qui tient, nous le savons, pour seule capable de responsabilité pénale la personne physique. En faisant de la responsabilité morale fondée sur la faute, qui suppose l'intervention d'une volonté personnelle, intelligente et libre, une condition essentielle de l'imputabilité d'une part, et en proclamant, d'autre part, le principe de la personnalité des peines, les codes du 19ème siècle ne permettaient pas de concevoir que la personne morale, à qui on donnait par ailleurs un caractère fictif et abstrait, pût être inculpée et punie.
Mais force est de constater qu'un mouvement législatif, encore partiel certes mais puissant, s'oriente vers une conception entièrement nouvelle en cette matière. En effet, le monde actuel n'est plus celui du 19ème siècle; l'évolution des structures industrielles a entrainé un développement des groupements, qui jouent un rôle économique, social et même politique dominant, de sorte qu'ils correspondent à une réalité déjà constatée par le droit civil et commercial; ils doivent l'être maintenant par le droit pénal.
En effet, un groupement a sa vie propre, indépendante de celle de ses membres; cette vie se caractérise par une volonté et une activité qui dominent la volonté et l'activité des membres, souvent interchangeables.
La législation française a donc été amenée à tenir compte de cet état de fait et les travaux demandés par la commission énumèrent, tant sur le plan international que national, les textes, certes partiels mais significatifs, qui sont intervenus en la matière, de même que l'effort jurisprudentiel qui a suivi.
La commission a donc estimé qu'un code nouveau dans sa projection sur l'avenir devait ne plus se contenter de palliatifs mais affirmer le principe nouveau et incontestable de la responsabilité pénale des personnes morales.
Elle fonde donc sa décision, le dogme de l'irresponsabilité des personnes morales constamment tourné étant devenu anachronique, sur la réalité de l'existence sous tous ses aspects de la personne morale, mode d'expression d'un véritable vouloir collectif, capable d'interdiction , d'action et donc de faute.
Mais la commission, qui aurait pourrait pu se contenter de relever le principe de la responsabilité pénale des personnes morales, a voulu pousser plus loin son analyse de la réalité des faits; constatant que de nombreuses lois spéciales ont incriminé des agissements d'être collectifs sans subordonner l'imputabilité à l'existence de la personnalité juridique d'un groupemnet, elle a cherché à atteindre le vouloir collectif réel, et non une fiction juridique.
Retenant une définition de la cour de cassation, selon laquelle la personnalité civile n'est pas une création de la loi mais appartient en principe à tout groupement pourvu d'une possibilité d'expression collective, et s'inspirant de la position du droit pénal européen lorsqu'il vise l'entreprise dans un des règlements de la communauté économique européenne, la commission a posé le principe de la responsabilité du groupement, la difficulté subsistant d'établir la réalité de ce groupement.
Mais elle a volontairement cantonné cette responsabilité aux groupements à objet commercial, industriel ou financier parce que les problèmes sont essentiels en cette matière et que, d'autre part, l'extension à tous les groupements quelle qu'en soit la nature risquerait de porter atteinte à certains droits inscrits dans la Constitution même. Il est d'ailleurs intéressant de noter que la commission de réforme des lois du Canada est arrivée, après une étude approndie, aux mêmes conclusions.
Par ailleurs, elle n'a pas voulu que la responsabilité pénale des groupements constitue un écran utilisé pour masquer les responsabilités personnelles et elle a marqué ce choix dans son texte.
Le deuxième alinéa de l'article 21072 est ainsi conçu: "Sans préjudice des poursuites exercées contre les personnes physiques, tout groupment à objet commercial, industriel ou financier est pénalement responsable du délit qui a été commis par la volonté délibérée de ses organes, en son nom et dans l'intérêt de l'ensemble de ses membres".
Ces termes soigneusement pesés marquent bien la nécessité d'une volonté et d'une action collectives. La commission, soucieuse en effet de l'intérêt des minorités -- notamment des petits actionnaires ou des salariés d'une société commerciale -- a traduit cette préoccupation dans le deuxième alinéa de l'article 21072 en précisant que "lorsque le délit n'a pas été commis dans l'intérêt collectif, sont pénalement responsables de l'infraction les membres du groupement, personnes physiques ou groupements à objet commercial, industriel ou financier, par la volonté et dans l'intérêt desquels les faits ont été accomplis".
L'article 21073 vise un cas particulièrement grave, qui est celui du groupement pratiquement constitué pour commetttre des infractions; dans cette hypothèse, le texte prévoit la possibilité pour la juridiction pénale de prononcer la dissolution du groupement, qui constitue la sanction la plus grave applicable aux personnes morales.
La responsabilité pénale des personnes morales entraine des sanctions particulières, car toutes les sanctions prévues par la loi sur un plan général ne leur sont pas applicables; les articles 3161 et 3162 qui prévoient les sanctions applicables aux groupements seront étudiés ultérieurement.
Cette responsabilité des groupements nécessitera un additif au code de procédure pénale afin de déterminer les cas de représentation de la personne morale, le principe étant qu'elle l'est par son représentant légal au moment du jugement.
Enfin la commission a prévu dans l'article 21071 un cas déjà existant dans la législation actuelle, celui du préposé qui, par son action personnelle engage la société, soit que ses organes auraient dû assumer une surveillance plus stricte soit qu'elle ait bénéficié directement ou indirectement du produit de l'infraction. Dans une telle situation, lorsque la loi le prévoit, la société ou le groupement peuvent être condamnés par le tribunal au paiement des amendes et frais infligés au prévenu.
Ainsi la responsabilité du groupement peut-être engagée des trois façons différentes:
1) dans les cas prévus prévus par la loi, par la mise à sa charge du paiement des amendes prononcées contre un de ses préposés;
2) par une action dirigée contre la société elle-même lorsque le délit a été commis au nom de la société et dans l'intérêt de l'ensemble de ses membres;
3) par une action engagée contre certains de ses membres qui peuvent être eux-mêmes une société telle qu'une filiale lorsque le délit a été commis, non dans l'intérêt de tous les membres du groupement, mais dans celui de certains d'entre eux seulement." (pp. 51-54)
...........................................
"Article 2107-1 -- Dans les cas prévus par la loi, lorsqu'une infraction a été commise dans l'exercise de ses fonctions, par le préposé d'un groupement à objet commercial, industriel ou financier, le tribunal peut décider que le paiement des amendes et frais de justice sera, en totalité ou en partie, à la charge du groupement.
Article 2107-2 -- Sans préjudice des poursuites exercées contre les personnes physiques, tout groupement à objet commercial, industriel ou financier est pénalement responsable du délit qui a été commis par la volonté délibérée de ses organes, en son nom et dans l'intérêt de l'ensemble de ses membres.
Lorsque le délit n'a pas été commis dans l'intérêt collectif, sont pénalement responsables de l'infraction les membres du groupement, personnes physiques ou groupements à objet commercial, industriel ou financier, par la volonté et dans l'intérêt desquels les faits ont été accomplis.
Article 2107-3 -- Lorsqu'il a été créé ou détourné de son objet pour faciliter la commission du délit, le groupement visé à l'article précédent peut être dissous par décision du tribunal.
_____________NOTA. -- Les textes relatifs à la responsabilité des groupements devront être complétés par les dispositions suivantes en droit pénal spécial (articles Sn) et en procédure pénale (Pn).
Article S 1 -- L'inéxécution de la décision prononçant la dissolution prévue par l'article 2107-3 ainsi que la reconstitution, par quelque moyen et sous quelque forme que ce soit, du groupement dissous constituent des délits de la 2o catégorie.
Article P 1 -- Lorsque le groupement n'a pas de représentant légal ou lorsque celui-ci est poursuivi à l'occasion des mêmes faits ou se trouve dans l'impossibilité de représenter le groupement, le président du tribunal de grande instance, saisi sur requête du ministère public et après avoir procédé à toutes auditions et investigations utiles, désigne un représentant spécial." (p. 186)
"L'avant projet de 1978 consacrait la responsabilité pénale des groupements, ce qui aurait permis de condamner des entreprises sans personnalité morale -- entreprises en nom personnel ou groupes de sociétés --. Cela risquait de susciter de graves difficultés tant en ce qui concerne la mise en oeuvre de la responsabilité que l'exécution de la peine. Aussi, est-il désormais proposé de retenir la responsabilité pénale des personnes morales, quelle que soit leur nature, la limitation aux groupements de nature 'commerciale, industrielle ou financière' prévue par l'avant-projet de 1978 était en effet discutable. À l'époque, l'immunité pénale des syndicats et associations avait été retenue pour éviter de porter atteinte à certains droits inscrits dans la Constitution; or la justice pénale ne sanctionne évidemment pas des actes non incriminées et l'extension à toutes les personnes morales, sans distinction, de la responsabilité pénale est conforme au principe fondamental de l'égalité devant la loi.L'article 30 présente une autre différence importante par rapport au texte de 1978: la responsabilité de la personne morale pourra être engagée, non seulement en matière correctionnelle, mais aussi en matière criminelle et contraventionnelle. Cette innovation s'imposait dans la mesure où la responsabilité pénale des personnes morales sera fréquemment recherchée pour des infractions économiques ou financières, dont certaines seront 'criminalisées' en raison des graves perturbations sociales qu'elles provoquent, tandis que d'autres seront punies de peines de police. Cette extension du champ d'application de l'article 30 trouve son correctif dans le fait que seules certaines infractions pourront entraîner la condamnation des personnes morales: la responsabilité pénale de celles-ci est en effet limitée, désormais, aux 'cas prévus par la loi'.
Les conditions de mise en oeuvre de cette responsabilité pénale sont également modifiées par rapport à l'avant-projet de code pénal de 1978. Celui-ci prévoyait que l'infraction devait avoir été commise par 'la volonté délibérée des organes du groupement, en son nom, et dans l'intérêt collectif': une personne morale n'aurait donc pu être poursuivie pour des infractions d'imprudence ou de négligence. De plus, la référence à l'intérêt collectif était ambiguë: de quel intérêt s'agissait-il? Celui des actionnaires? Celui des actionnaires et des salariés? Toutes ces difficultés d'interprétation seront écartées puisque la personne morale est désormais responsable 'des infractions réalisées pour son compte et par ses organes'." (pp. 5-6)

"Les personnes morales pourront être déclarées pénalement responsables de certaines infractions: ce sera le cas lorsque la loi le prévoiera expressément, par exemple en matière de droit pénal des affaires. Ainsi, l'entreprise responsable pourra être condamnée à raison des faits de pollution, de fraude, d'homicide involontaire en cas de manquement aux règles de sécurité...L'immunité actuelle des personnes morales est d'autant plus choquante qu'elles sont souvent, par l'ampleur des moyens dont elles disposent, à l'origine d'atteintes graves à la santé publique, à l'environnement, à l'ordre public économique ou à la législation sociale. De surcroît, la décision qui est à l'origine de l'infraction est prise par les organes sociaux eux-mêmes, qui déterminent la politique industrielle, commerciale ou sociale de l'entreprise. A l'instar d'autres pays, tels que les États-Unis ou la Grande-Bretagne, il convient donc de mettre en cause, dans des cas déterminés, et par des peines pécuniaires ou privatives de droits appropriées la responsabilité des personnes morales. La responsabilité pénale d'un dirigeant d'entreprise pourra également être retenue en même temps que celle des personnes morales s'il est prouvé que ce dirigeant est personnellement intervenu dans la décision ou dans la réalisation de l'infraction, ou si la loi prévoit qu'il répond personnellement de certaines infractions -- réglementation du travail ou de la sécurité sociale, matières économique, fiscale...Mais disparaîtra la présomption de responsabilité pénale qui pèse en fait aujourd'hui sur des dirigeants à propos d'infractions dont ils ignorent parfois l'existence; ainsi sera mieux respecté le principe fondamental selon lequel, en droit pénal, nul ne répond que de son propre fait."

[Abstract] When a corporation or corporate executive is caught polluting the water, selling adulterated food, or creating hazardous working conditions, the penalty is typically civil; criminal penalties are rarely imposed for these kinds of acts. Criminologists have assumed that this is because the corporate sector has used its political influence to insulate corporations and executives from criminal stigma and imprisonment. This conflict model explanation has never been substantiated. Nor can it be substantiated that the corporate sector has been primarily responsible for the adoption of civil penalties for the transgressions of corporations and executives. After examining the development of penalties in health and safety law, I find that civil penalties have been adopted because many people believed that criminal penalties were inappropriate under the circumstances. The problem of strict liability was raised consistently as a reason for adopting civil rather than criminal penalties." (p. 532)

"Abstract
The sentencing of white-collar criminals is puzzling to those outside the court system who perceive judges to be endemically lenient. This paper attempts to explain the difficulties faced by the courts by highlighting a series of paradoxes faced by judges in such cases. These paradoxes revolve around the distinctions between the serious crimes committed and the type of people who commit them, the distinctions between property crimes and crimes of violence, the differences between profits and losses, the disparity between the number of offences committed and the crimes actually charged, the various pathways to justice, the exigencies of the criminal justice system and the pragmatics of plea bargaining, the balance between formal and informal punishments, the competing purposes of sentencing and the differences between the real and symbolic aspects of sentences. The paper examines some empirical evidence relating to sentences imposed on white-collar criminals and explores some alternatives to the current system in Australia."

"[Abstract] The history of social efforts to deal with offenses now categorized as white-collar crime shows a struggle for justice and equity with roots deep in the past. This paper uses a triad of English marketing offenses--forestalling, regrating, and engrossing--to epitomize the legal background of efforts to control the abuse of commercial power. The paper notes the spurious ancestry of the doctrine of caveat emptor, and offers explanations for the decline and the subsequent revival of crusades against the exploitation of consumers by business forces. Scholarly work on white-collar crime is placed in this historical context, followed by a general appraisal of the nature of changes over time--from the dire biblical prophecies in Deuteronomy to the bland explanations of 'plausible deniability' during the recent Iran-Contra hearings before the U.S. Congress."

"Abstract. Globalization, the rising of an economy outside the paradigm of government by nation-states, has created new opportunities for transnational corporate crime, defined broadly here as avoidable harms inflicted across national borders for purposes of economic gain. The authors reexamine theories of corporate criminal liability in the transnational context and
applaud the recent French codification of corporate criminal liability in terms broad enough to encompass the new economic realities. Finally, they examine the inability of current adjudicative fora to effectively assert jurisdiction over transnational corporations and suggest that the harms associated with toxic waste spills, unethical marketing practices, and other corporate misconduct are more ubiquitous and dangerous than the harms of terrorism and war crimes that have captured the attention of the emerging global civil society."

"The Law Commission’s proposal for an offence of 'corporate killing' (modelled on the common law crime of gross negligence manslaughter) is criticised for vagueness and imprecison, for not comprehending serious non-fatal injuries, and for failing to recognise that in the absence of clear rules of attribution, any criminal liability imposed on an organisation can only be for failing to prevent something happening. It is suggested that offences (patterned on those of causing death by dangerous, or by careless and drunken driving) of causing death or serious injury by breaking (statutory) regulations would be a much better way of holding businesses and similar bodies as well as individuals liable for death and serious injuries that would not have occurred if those regulations had been obeyed."

"Summary: The English courts have struggled to find a satisfactory test holding companies liable for their criminal wrongdoing. The government's proposal for a crime of corporate killing constitutes an important advance in this area, but it is still deficient in many respects. A new Italian statute, on the other hand, offers a more comprehensive and detailed model of corporate criminality." (p. 619)

"[Summary] Historically, the explanation of how juristic persons such as a corporation could be said to act, know or intend was found entirely in the concepts of the principles of agency. By analysing those natural persons involved in the enterprise as the corporation's agents, the corporation could be said to act and to have knowledge. The central concern of this article, however, is with whether there is, in addition to the application of standard agency principles, a further mechanism for attributing actions of natural persons to the corporation that is specific to corporate law. The author's thesis is that there is indeed a company-specific mechanism for attribution. For the purposes of both the criminal and civil law, responsibility may be attributed to the entity by way of a doctrine variously called 'identification', 'alter ego', 'directing mind and will', and the 'organic approach'. The author further considers the scope of the organic approach and in particular the doctrinal relationship predicted by the organic approach between central corporate law doctrines and the general law."

10.2 A controversial subject. One reason is the controversial character of corporate criminal liability. The subject is a relatively recent judicial development and was not fully discussed in authoritative judgments before the House of Lords decision in Tesco Supermarkets Ltd. v. Nattrass in 1971.3 We are conscious that we are here proposing the restatement of principles whose underlying theory and rationale remain strangely uncertain. It is comforting to note, however, that, although the Working Party did review other possible approaches to the subject (including that of abolishing corporate liability altogether), its discussion plainly tended towards the preservation of a slightly modified version of the status quo. Clause 30 incorporates some of those modifications.10.3 An undeveloped subject. The second observation to be made upon the application to corporate criminal liability of our general restatement policy concerns the relatively undeveloped state of the subject. Although its essentials are reasonably clear, the Code team expressed surprise at the number of points at which, in drafting their suggested clause, they had to fill in gaps in the law for want of authority.4 It has therefore been encouraging that the team's clause largely escaped criticism on consultation, and in particular that their proposals for the filling of gaps were not questioned. We have been able to adopt that clause with very minor amendments. ...

[Germany]
For a better understanding of the European guidelines in the Criminal Law of the German Federal Republic a systematic sketch about the structure of the German Sanction Law under special consideration of the environment criminal law will be discussed first. In general the actual German Criminal Law distinguishes between the so-named Strafrecht and the sonamed
Ordnungswidrigkeitenrecht. The Strafrecht only concerns with criminal acts, which realization harms and in a special way disturb the social living-together. Therefore it is sanctioned with a penalty payment or imprisonment, according to § 46 I StGB is mostly determined by personal responsibility. In comparison the Ordnungswidrigkeitenrecht deals with facts, which realization presents a punishable unjustness without however affecting the society to the extent which would legitimate the appliance of the Strafrecht. Due to the limited personal principle of guilt according to the general Ordnungswidrigkeitenrecht the imposition of fines up to 500.000 EUR against companies are possible, if company-related
duties are violated § 30 OWIG. The difference between Strafrecht- and Ordnungswidrigkeitenrecht lies mainly on the degree rather than on the nature of the fact.The degree difference effects in particular the type of punishment charged simular to the different types felonies/misdemeanors on the one side and infractions on the other side according to the angloamerican law. This gradual difference has an effect especially on the kind of punishments. Ordnungswidrigkeiten are solely sanctioned by fines and not by imprisonments. Due to the limited personal principle of guilt according to the general Ordnungswidrigkeitenrecht the imposition of fines up to 500.000 EUR against companies are possible, if company-related duties are violated § 30 OWiG. In order to regulate the environmental legislation the German legislation has passed specific rules of the Strafgesetzbuch in 1980, which sum up and expand the different, thus far scattered affairs of environmental criminal law. By this the legislation intends to follow the general preventive guidelines aimed to strengthen the environmental consciousness in the German public. Legally protected right, as already expressed in the headline, is the environment as a whole rather in its media (Air, soil, water) and in its representation (animals and plants). However it is not as extensive as the national environment criminal law Art. 20 a) of the German constitution (Grundgesetz) relates to the extensive protection of natural live requirements as an end in itself. This aim of constitution goes further than the rules of national criminal law." (p. 62, notes omitted)

" § 1. -- Son opportunité.La responsabilité pénale des personnes morales tant publiques que privées était communément admise dans l'ancien droit.
Les corporations ont fréquemment été condamnées à des amendes. Les privilèges accordés aux villes prévoyaient des sanctions pénales contre elles 'pro excesso prefacto sive delicto civitatis'. Le privilège de la ville de Lübeck parlait de la 'civitas rea'. L'ordonnance criminelle de 1670 consacrait tout un titre à la procédure contre les villes, bourgs, villages, corps et compagnies.
Les groupements corporatifs devinrent-ils tyranniques? Toujours est-il qu'ils provoquèrent la haine populaire et que les philosophes, prêchant la doctrine individualiste, parvinrent à les faire supprimer radicalement. Ce fut l'un des résultats de la Révolution Française de 1789.
Mais, même après la suppression des corporations, la responsabilité des personnes morales était encore si bien admise que le Décret de Vendémiaire an IV stipulait que, dans le cas où les habitants d'une commune auraient pris part aux délits commis sur son territoire par des attroupements et rassemblements, cette commune serait tenue de payer à la République, une amende égale au montant de la réparation principale.
Si les théories individualistes n'avaient pas pénétré trop profondéement l'esprit des juristes, les choses en seraient sans doute restées là. Il n'aurait plus été question de corporations autonomes trop puissantes; les autres associations auraient pu continuer à subsister guère plus dangereuses que le citoyen isolé, mais autant responsables que lui.
L'opinion publique, elle, était restée favorable à l'idée d'association. En 1831, la Belgique consacrait solennellement dans la Constitution le droit de s'associer, qui répondait à un besoin de l'âme belge. L'association n'est-elle pas une caractéristique de la vie nationale belge? Notre exubérance en cette matière n'a-t-elle même pas inspiré à l'étranger l'admiration, parfois aussi une fine ironie? (Tibbaut, rapport Doc. Parl. Chambre, session 1920-1921, no 198, loi du 27 juin 1921).
Mais pour les juristes de la première moitié du XIXe siècle, la personne morale était une constante menace pour le Pouvoir. Une association ne pouvait, selon eux, procéder que d'une concession gouvernementale et devait faire l'objet d'une surveillance étroite. Partant le problème qui nous occupe ne pouvait plus se poser.
Cependant, la loi belge du 13 mai 1873, supprima la nécessité d'une autoriation officielle pour l'octroi de la personnification civile aux sociétés commerciales. La personnalité civile fut reconnue notamment aux Unions professionnelles par la loi belge du 31 mars 1898 et aux associations sans but lucratif par la loi belge du 27 juin 1921, tandis que la loi belge du 24 mai 1921 garantissait la liberté d'association.
Il a fallu plus d'un siècle pour restaurer une organisation sociale, qui nous était chère mais que d'aucuns avaient estimé devoir détruire complètement parce qu'elle présentait certains défauts.
Maintenant que l'édifice est reconstruit, il ne nous reste plus qu'à empêcher que des défauts se reproduisent.
Une de nos premières préoccupations ne doit-elle pas être d'examiner si les responsabilités de la personne morale sont bien fixées? " (pp. 219-220)

"[Abstract] For many years, researchers assumed that the public was indifferent to corporate wrongdoing, but recent surveys have discovered evidence to the contrary. Taking insights from these data a step further, this study employed an experimental design to examine whether people responded differently to corporate versus individual wrongdoers. We varied the identity of the central actor in a scenario involving harm to workers. Half the respondents were informed that a corporation caused the harm; the remainder were told that an individual did so. Respondents applied a highrer standard of responsibility to the corporate actor. For identical action, the corporation was judged as more reckless and more morally wrong than the individual. Respondents' judgments of the greater recklessness of the corporation led them to recommend higher civil and criminal penalties against the corporation." (p. 151)

Mais l'essor du capitalisme moderne s'est accompagné de nouvelles formes de malversations épuisant les ressources du droit pénal commun. Au nom de l'efficacité de la répression, nombre d'infractions spécifiques ont été créées. Plus d'une centaine existent encore, relatives à tous les aspects de la vie de la société. Le paradoxe est pourtant que cette pénalisation massive est massivement inefficace : le nombre de condamnations est dérisoire, la plupart concernant le seul délit d'abus de biens sociaux. Cette antinomie montre clairement les limites d'une logique exagérément pénale et oblige à repenser l'opportunité même d'un dispositif répressif spécifique aux sociétés. Une analyse critique permet d'abord d'apprécier combien s'avère impérieuse la nécessité d'une réforme en profondeur. Les déficiences relevées sont nombreuses : congénitales, formelles et fonctionnelles, elles permettent d'expliquer l'impuissance de l'impressionnant arsenal déployé. Passé ce constat, la question se pose naturellement de savoir si la répression pénale est bien opportune en matière des sociétés. Le droit comparé tend à fonder une réponse affirmative tout en incitant à la mesure. Le droit interne confirme la nécessité de la sanction pénale mais là encore, cette opportunité de principe est liée à la mesure avec laquelle il y est fait recours. Un recul du droit pénal en matière de sociétés s'avère indispensable. Une analyse constructive permet de redéfinir les frontières du droit pénal des sociétés selon deux critères : l'un, emprunté au droit pénal, est l'intensité de la transgression; l'autre, emprunté au droit des sociétés, s'attache à la nature de l'intérêt protégé. A la redéfinition de la logique pénale succède naturellement la redéfinition des sanctions applicables. S'il importe de maintenir ou d'améliorer nombre d'infractions, il apparaît non moins nécessaire d'introduire d'utiles alternatives civiles à la répression pénale.
[Summary]
For a long time, criminal and company law have been dissociated. But the rise of modern capitalism has been followed by new kinds of malpractice that the penal Code did not contemplate. Many specific offences were thus created. Over one hundred of them are still in force, dealing with every aspect of company management. Paradoxically, this repressive approach is widely inefficient. Only a few convictions are pronounced by the Courts, mostly in case of embezzelment. This contradiction shows the limits of a repressive approach and urges to question the very necessity of penal repression in company law. A critical analysis allows to consider the need for a deep reformation. There are numerous deficiencies : congenital, formal and fonctionnal. They explain the inefficiency of the impressive legal weaponry. One has to wonder whether penal repression is really useful in company law. Comparative law leads to a moderate affirmative answer. Domestic law confims the need for penal sanctions but, once again, the opportuneness of the sanction cannot be separated from its mitigation. In matter of company law, criminal law must retreat. A constructive analysis allows to redefine the field of penal law in company law according to two criteria : the first one borrowed from criminal law is the intensity of the transgression. The second one, borrowed from company law is linked to the nature of the protected interest. Then, sanctions need to be redefined. Many offences deseved to be maintained and improved. But it is also necessary to bring up useful civil alternative option to penal sanction." (source: catalogue Abès)

"In Germany, liability is imposed on corporations by state authorities only for administrative offenses.3 There is much debate about whether such penalties should be considered criminal sanctions or morally neutral administrative penalties. The German law of Ordnungswidrigkeiten (administrative penalties) empowers administrative authorities as well as criminal courts to impose administrative fines (Geldbußen) on both natural persons and companies. These penalties are successors to the former sanctions for minor criminal offenses (Übertretungen) and are similar to regulatory offenses in the United Kingdom. Today, they are not perceived as criminal sanctions either by the public or by defendants, even when imposed by a criminal court.In addition, the class of natural persons whose acts may make the corporation liable is very limited. In general, liability is restricted to instances in which the company’s legal representatives or directors have acted improperly or failed to supervise their employees properly. So far, German policy toward corporate liability is very restrictive compared with that of other European nations. In Germany, penalties imposed on corporations may, at most, be regarded as “quasi-criminal” sanctions.
But what are the reasons for this restrictive policy? The discussion has not yet reached a clear consensus, but there appear to be two very important aspects: First, a corporation cannot act; second, it is not possible to speak of a corporation’s criminal responsibility."

"2.1.1 To whom is criminal liability imputable?
2.1.1.1 Basic PrincipleGerman criminal law recognises the criminal liability of natural persons (individuals). Legal persons such as associations, agencies or other forms of collective organisation are to a certain extent denied the capacity to act, and overwhelmingly that of incurring blameworthiness. It is therefore always imperative to trace single wrong decisions to ar persons." (p. 740; one note omitted)"
"2.1.1.4 Liability under the Law of Administrative Violations
(Ordnungswidrigkeitenrecht)A non-criminal administrative fine (GeldbuBe) may be assessed per § 30 OEiG against legal persons and associations if a natural person, who is a legal representative of the enterprise, commits either a crime or an administrative violation (Ordnungswidrigkeit), by virtue of which the association was, or should have been enriched, or its legal obligations have been violated. " (p. 744)
"2.1.1.5 Corporate liability for actions of persons in charge
Until recently legal doctrine overwhelmingly imputed the actions and faulty decisions of the legal representatives to the association - but not as its own actions, but rather those of another.53 On this basis, the relevant behaviour is the imputable action of another (the natural person) and not (in addition) the proper deed of the association. Tiedemann and others54, on the other hand, establish a separate responsibility of the association through its organisational deficiencies: the individual deeds are seen as violations of the association, because, and to the extent that, the company (through its management and representatives) omitted to implement preventive measures which are required, in order to operate an orderly and law-abiding business. ...
------
53 The argument being that associations lack the capacity for action and blameworthiness which was also required by the 'Ordnungswidrig-keitenrecht' (.... On the constitutionality of this imputation, see BVerfGE 20, pp. 323 et seq.) As a result, the administrative fine for associations was characterized before 1986 as a collateral consequence (Nebenfolge).54. Tiedemann, NJW 1986, p. 1844 (still only carefully suggesting), then, in NJW 1988, pp. 1171 et seq. ....This principle of responsibilityof the enterprise as such for organizational deficits relies on the further development of the so-called concept of social blamewirthiness (sozialer Schuldbegriff) which relies on more objective criteria for the determination of criminal responsibility. (now accepted by nearly the majority in the literature)..." (p. 744)

L'argumentation sur laquelle repose notre démarche est fondée sur l'analyse de la responsabilité pénale des groupements sportifs. Pour conduire cette étude, nous avançons trois raisons : l'imitation du droit des étrangers, l'allégement de la responsabilité pénale des personnes physiques, la gravité des dommages causés par les personnes morales. Le principe de cette nouvelle responsabilité a été acquis depuis le 1er mars 1994 et le droit pénal français, comme l'ensemble des règles qui gouvernent les activités physiques et sportives, se trouve, à l'heure actuelle, en pleine période de transition. Mais la véritable question est de savoir si et comment le droit pénal permet de lutter efficacement contre la délinquance et la déviance des groupements sportifs. Or la réponse est loin d'être certaine et l'arme pénale n'est pas toujours la mieux à même d'éviter les abus. L'intérêt majeur de cet ouvrage est que les groupements sportifs peuvent être à l'origine de nombreux faits délictueux. Aucun obstacle sérieux ne s'oppose donc à l'incrimination de leurs agissements "anti-sportifs" (dopage, tricherie, corruption...) ni, même à la qualification intentionnelle de certains de ces comportements à condition de prévoir contre ce genre de délinquants comme à l'égard de tous les autres d'ailleurs, des sanctions appropriées. Il résulte de lien étroit entre droit pénal et sport que la qualité d'une législation pénale ne peut être appréciée indépendamment de celle du système procédural qui en assure la mise en oeuvre. Cette dépendance est d'autant plus forte que les pouvoirs reconnus aux institutions sportives, tant nationales qu'internationales, sont importants. Du reste il serait inexact de présenter le droit pénal comme une sorte de matière neutre dont la véritable nature dépendrait intégralement de la réponse donnée au phénomène criminel."

"Abstract:The article concerns developments in Australia in an area of law generally treated as peripheral to corporate governance - namely, corporate criminal liability.
The article discusses the impact of reforms to corporate criminal liability under Part 2.5 of the Criminal Code, which commenced full operation in Australia in late 2001. Although corporate law in Australia, including directors' duties, adopts an Anglo-US shareholder-centered model of the corporation, Part 2.5 of the Criminal Code adopts an organizational model of the corporation. The reforms constitute a major paradigm shift in corporate criminal liability, and affect a range of important areas, such as competition and consumer law, occupational health and safety and environmental law.
The article argues that there appears to be a disjunction between the underlying principles in the area of directors' duties and corporate criminal law in Australia. Under traditional Australian corporate law principles, issues of social responsibility are kept at a distance and directors' duty of oversight in relation to corporate misconduct is limited. In contrast, the new Australian corporate criminal liability regime recognizes concepts of organizational due diligence, organizational blameworthiness and "corporate culture."
Under the new paradigm, issues relating to corporate criminal liability will inevitably become more closely integrated at an operational level into corporate governance, as corporations introduce compliance programs to ensure that their "corporate cultures" do not potentially trigger criminal liability. It is possible that these reforms to corporate criminal liability may be more effective than directors' duties in recognizing that directors are ultimately accountable for their corporation's "culture," and have a corresponding obligation to monitor diligently."

Ici, une question se pose, à savoir celle de la responsabilité pénale des personnes morales dans le système juridique égyptien.En Égypte, il est possible d'inculper non seulement la personne morale en tant que telle, mais également son représentant juridique (directeur d'une usine ou capitaine d'un navire). Bien sûr les sanctions prévues sont adaptées à la nature de la personne condamnée: la prison pour la personne physique, alors que pour la personne morale: l'indemnité ou la fermeture, ou encore la suspension temporaire ou définitive des activités. ..."

"Liability of corporate bodiesUnder Israeli law criminal liability is imputable to natural persons as well as to bodies of persons, either incorporated or not. The doctrinal basis mentioned in the Israeli jurisprudence refers to the well-known theory in the Anglo-American law concerning the organic theory (alter ego). Accordingly, a corporate body may be found liable if the penal provision provides for a strict liability and the offence is committed by a person while he acts for the corporate body; or, where the offence was made by one of its principal (organs which its act was identified with the corporate body's acts.

"[Abstract] This paper begins with a conceptual analysis of the idea of white-collar crime. It considers data relevant to popular images of white-collar crime and outlines a general theory of crime explicitly applicable to both ordinary and white-collar crime. This theory is compared with traditional explanations of white-collar crime, and several explicit empirical tests of rival views are described." (p. 949)

"[Abstract] Advocates of the concept of white-collar crime have failed to make the case for its scientific value. Steffensmeir's efforts to save the concept further support our view that it is flawed and misleading. His efforts support our contention that the correlates of white-collar crime are the same as the correlates of crime, that the age distribution of offending is the same for white-collar crimes as for other crimes, that official statistics have sufficient validity for many etiological purposes, and that the search for a general theory of crime holds great promise for criminology."

"[Abstract]The Victorian Court of Criminal Appeal has recently endorsed the English case of Cogan and Leak [1976] AB 217, and accepted that the doctrine of inncocent agency is applicable to the crime of rape. This article critically examines both the decision in Hewitt (1996) 84 A Crim R 440 and the debate surrounding the application of innocent agency in this context. In particular, the argument that rape is 'too personal' to be committed via the acts of an agent will be assessed. Finally, the implications of the decision for corporate criminal liability will also be briefly explored." (p. 204; emphasis in bold added)

[Abstract] "The activities of multinational corporations (MNCs) have gained increased attention globally as a result of the deleterious effects arising from their misconduct. MNCs by their sheer size have turned into major world players with disposition to act with impunity, especially with regard to human rights. This thesis investigates the liability of MNCs under international law for human rights violations using the Nigeria's Niger Delta as a case study. Efforts to seek remedy within the international legal system, as is shown in this thesis, confront strong obstacles. This thesis proffers a two-pronged practical solution to these problems. First, the thesis, after an exploration of various remedies against MNCs, concludes that corporate criminal liability serves a more useful purpose in the present times when corporations and their managers make huge profits at the expense of environmental and human rights. Second, in light of the difficulty in concluding a legally binding multilateral agreement on MNCs, this thesis argues that only a regional mechanism offers a glimmer of hope for Africa in this situation. Thus, it proposes a regional initiative based on African experiences with MNCs and recommends the establishment of an "African Union Agreement on Multinational Corporations and Trade" by the African Union, an exercise which will give the African states a collective power to curtail MNCs' misconduct.

"It is said that there are nearly 700 criminal provisions at the national law level alone that can punish entities other than individuals (i.e. natural persons) and that this number will increase more or less constantly in the future. The fact that under the Japanese law criminal liability is imputable to entities other than individuals is indisputable. Those entities are as a rule supposed to be legal persons, but in some rare cases groups, associations, and other collectivities not recognized as legal persons are declared by specific provisions to be treated in the same way as legal persons and thus to be criminally imputable. Government agencies and governments themselves are not included in those entities.Despite the recognition of potential criminal imputability of entities other than individuals in the positive criminal law in Japan, it is still intensely disputed in theories whether entities other than individuals can commit crimes if there is no explicit reference to those entities' capability of committing crimes in the positive law. Arguments in the discussion are fundamentally same as the traditional ones under the Continental (Civil) and the Anglo-American law systems, so it is unnecessary to repeat them at length here."

"ABSTRACT
This essay examines the importance of social meaning for the economic analysis of crime. Against the background of social norms, the actions of individuals and communities convey information about what they value. Individuals take these meanings into account when they are responding to the incentives created by criminal law; communities take them into account when they decide what to punish, how to punish it, and how severely. Because meaning matters in these ways, economic analyses of criminal law that abstract from meaning -- by , say, considering only how various policies affect the expected penalty for wrongdoing -- produce unreliable predictions and prescriptions. The essay makes out this claim by considering a number of concrete examples, including tax evasion, juvenile gun possession, gang criminality, alternative sanctions (such as shaming penalties), and corporate criminal liabuility."

"ABSTRACT
From stigmatizing publicity to coerced gestures of public contrition to ritualized debasement ceremonies, shaming penalties are on the rise in American law. This paper considers the feasibility and value of such penalties for federal white-collar offenders. It develops a theoretical model that connects the deterrent efficacy of such penalties to their power to signal the undesirable propensities of wrongdoers and the desirable propensities of citizens who shun wongdoers. It also considers how the efficiency of such penalties is affected by their power to express publicly valued social meanings. Finally, it examines practical issues relating to the incorporation of shaming penalties into the Federal Sentencing Guidelines." (p. 365)

"There are three principal ways in which MNCs may be held accountable for human rights abuses.The traditional way is through the host state. ....
The second mechanism, holding MNCs accountable through their home States, should not be ruled out entirely. However, this approach is politically unattractive because it exposes home States to the legitimate criticism of jurisdictional imperialism. ....
The third and preferred way of confronting human rights abuses by MNCs is to subject companies to direct international obligations and international supervision on a worldwide basis. In view of the increasing strength of MNCs and the concomitant risk of abuses, it no longer makes sense that international law addresses obligations to respect human dignity to States and to individuals but not to corporations. ..."

[Abstract] On the basis of a case study of a U.S. Attorney's office, I sketch differences in the prosecution of white-collar crime in order to draw out implications for equality in current proposals to reform plea bargaining. The extent to which the powers of investigation and prosecution are empirically distinct differs with the two categories of crime. Because of greater social distance between prosecutor and investigator in the enforcement of laws against common crimes, formal records give a misleading impression that legitimate prosecutorial power is being bargained away. Because there is relatively little social distance between the prosecutorial and investigative functions in the prosecution of white-collar crime, the formal record greatly under-represents the exercise of the power not to prosecute. Reforms that would make bargaining over formal dispositions more consistent with legality or 'due' process appear likely to discourage lenience in the prosecution of common crimes while leaving largely unaffected the low visibility exercise of the power not to prosecute white-collar crime."

"[p. 64] Corporations.Corporations formerly lay quite outside the criminal law. If a crime were committed by a corporation's orders, criminal proceedings, for having thus instigated the offence, could only be taken against the separate members, in their personal capacities, and not against the separate members, in their personal [p. 65] capacities, and not against the corporation as itself a guilty person1. This was a consequence of the technical rule that criminal courts expected prisoners to stand at their bar, and did not permit 'appearance by attorney2.' But it was further supported also by more scientific considerations, which the Roman law had anticipated and accepted3. It was urged that a corporation, as it had no actual existence, could have no will; and therefore could have no guilty will4. And it was further urged that, even if the legal fiction which gives to a corporation an imaginary existence may be stretched so far as to give it also an imaginary will, yet the only activities that could consistently be ascribed to the fictitious will thus created, must be such as are connected with the purposes which it was created to accomplish. If so, it could not compass a crime; for any crime would be necessarily ultra vires. Moreover a corporation is devoid not only of mind, but also of body; and therefore incapable of the usual criminal punishments. 'Can you hang its common seal?' asked an advocate in James II's days (8 St. Tr. 1138).
But under the commercial development which the last two generations have witnessed, corporations have become so numerous that there would have grave public danger in continuing to permit them to enjoy this immunity. The various theoretical difficulties have therefore been brushed aside; and it is now settled law that corporations may, in an appropriate court, be indicted by the corporate name, and

2. But the King's Bench allowed corporations indicted before itself to appear by attorney; hence they became able so to appear at Assizes (28 T.L.R. 197). The Criminal Justice Act 1925, s. 33(3) will permit them so to appear even at Quarter Sessions. By s. 49 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1879, corporations may now appear by attorney at Petty Sessions.
3 Yet the theory of Germanic law inclined the other way; as our English institution of Frankpledge (Stubbs' Const. Hist. I 618) may serve to remind us. Cf. Maitland's Political Theories, p. xxxix.
4 Hence, even in civil actions, doubts were long entertained as to the possibility of holding a corporation liable for those Torts in which 'express malice' is necessary. Contrast Abrath v. N.E. Ry. Co. (11 A.C. 247) with Chuter v. Freeth (27 T.L.R. 467).

[Abstract]"Although considerable debate surrounds society's increasing reliance on criminal liability to regulate corporate conduct, few have questioned in depth the fundamental basis for imposing criminal liability on corporations. In this Article, Mr. Khanna explores the underlying rationale for corporate criminal liability and finds it problematic. After summarizing the historical development of corporate criminal liability and surveying the current legal landscape, the Article explores the justifications for such liability. Mr. Khanna argues that corporate civil liability can capture the desirable features of corporate criminal liability, especially criminal liabilitty's powerful enforcement and information-gathering dimensions. Futhermore, he contends that corporate civil liability avoids the undesirable features of corporate criminal liability. Such undesirable features include criminal procedural protections and criminal sanctions stigma effects. Mr. Khanna concludes that a modified form of corporate civil liability could make corporate criminal liability obsolete by capturing the advantages of corporate criminal liability while avoiding or mitigating its disadvantages."

___________"Politics and Corporate Crime Legislation. If politically powerful corporations feared corporate crime laws, then why are so many statutes on the books?", (Spring 2004) 27(1) Regulation 30-35; available at http://www.cato.org/pubs/regulation/regv27n1/v27n1-3.pdf, accessed on 6 June 2004;"AbstractCorporate crime has once again become an important issue on the US legislative agenda. Following the recent economic downturn and the spectacular revelations of corporate wrongdoing, Congress and the various regulatory bodies have begun to tighten the law and enhance honesty and completeness in disclosure. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is one example and adds to the already sprawling area of corporate criminal liability. However, the continued and rather explosive growth of corporate crime legislation leaves one with a rather strange puzzle: how can such a state of the world arise? After all, corporations and business interests are considered some of the most powerful and effective lobbyists, if not the most effective and powerful, in the country. Yet, we witness the continued expansion of legislation that criminalizes some of their behavior (one estimate suggests over 300,000 federal regulatory offenses that can be prosecuted criminally). How could this have happened given that business interests should be able to lobby to protect themselves? This paper sets out to answer this puzzle.
An answer is important not only for purposes of understanding the political dynamics of current regulation, but also because it provides insights into the effectiveness of our current approach for regulating corporate wrongdoing. Overall, my analysis suggests that corporate criminal liability – the imposition of criminal sanctions on the corporate entity – serves little deterrent or expressive function above that offered by corporate civil liability. This suggests, on first glance, weak support for the growth of corporate criminal liability. However, this is only on first glance. Indeed, on closer inspection, it appears that corporate criminal liability imposes relatively low costs on corporate interests, may help to avoid legislative and judicial responses that are more harmful to their interests, and may at times help to deflect criminal liability away from managers and executives and on to corporations. These effects may often benefit corporate interests and weakens their opposition to corporate crime legislation. In light of this, the growth of corporate crime legislation becomes more understandable. This not only provides some explanations for the impressive growth of corporate criminal liability, but also leads to some interesting normative conclusions. In particular, it leads to the counter-intuitive result that if one starts with the view that there is under-deterrence of corporate wrongdoing then one would probably prefer to reduce corporate criminal
liability and focus more on corporate civil liability and managerial liability." (source: http://www2.law.columbia.edu/law-economicstudies/papers/WP220.pdf, accessed on 28 December 2003)

"[Abstract]Under Federal Rule of Evidence 404, the character evidence rule, it is well established that evidence of character generally is not admissible to show that a person acted in conformity with that character on a particular occasion. No consensus exists, however, as to whether the character evidence rule should also apply to corporations.
In this article, Profesor Kim argues that the ban on character evidence should not be extended to corporations. Professor Kim begins with a discussion of various rationales offered to support the character evidence rule, emphasizing Kantian conceptions of human autonomy. She then examines varying definitions of 'character' and concludes that character may best be regarderd as a reflection of the internal operating system of the human organism. Next, Professor Kim turns to an analysis of the pesonhood of corporations and determines that corporations are persons and moral actors with the capacity to possess character. This corporate character is separate and apart from the character of the corporation's individual members and reflects the internal operating system of the corporate organization.
Finally, Professor Kim suggests that the human autonomy rationale for the character evidence rule does not apply with equal force to corporations. She then concludes with an examination of the practical implications of excluding corporations from the protections afforded individuals under Rule 404." (p. 763)

"ABSTRACT: In order for a corporation's activities and conduct to be what its top management wants, there must be adequate internal corporate controls to assure that management's instructions are being carried out. The antitrust electrical cases, the heavy losses suffered by General Dynamics through its Convair Division, and Chrysler's troubles over conflict of interests among its executives are illustrations which point out the failure of internal systems of control. In each case, top management did not have the benefit of adequate internal controls so that it could prevent illegal or improper or unfortunate events from occurring, to the detriment of the corporation. These instances suggest the timeliness of an inquiry into the adequacy of internal corporate controls in the large American corporations in order to ascertain what really is the 'the corporation' " (p. 75)

Le Code Pénal Hellénique, en vigueur depuis le 1er janvier 1951, est issu de la loi codifiée n.1492/1950, applicable aujourd’hui dans sa version traduite dans la langue courante, la "dimotike" (décret présidentiel n. 283/1985 FEK A/106).Conformément au Code Pénal Hellénique, seules les personnes physiques peuvent être déclarées pénalement responsables pour avoir commis l’une des trois infractions prévues à l’article 18 de celui-ci, à savoir : une contravention, un délit ou un crime.
[...]
Le droit de l’environnement grec trouve sa source dans l’article 24 de la Constitution Hellénique qui dispose, dans son paragraphe 1, que “la protection de l’environnement naturel et culturel constitue un devoir pour l’Etat”. Cette même disposition précise que, pour garantir la protection en question, “L’Etat a l’obligation d’adopter des mesures préventives et répressives particulières”.
A cette fin, a été votée, les 15 et 16 octobre 1986, la Loi cadre numéro 1650 (FEK A/160) sur la protection de l’environnement ayant pour objectif de fixer des principes fondamentaux, de consacrer des critères et d’instaurer des mécanismes, en vue de sauvegarder l’environnement naturel.
[...]
A cela, s’ajoute le fait que contrairement au procès pénal qui ne peut être dirigé que contre des personnes physiques, l’article 30 de la Loi Cadre 1650/1986, concernant les sanctions administratives, dispose que ces dernières peuvent être infligées également à des personnes morales, généralement plus solvables que les personnes physiques."

La responsabilité criminelle ne peut être objectivement imputée à l'employeur de l'auteur véritable de l'infraction.
