The fourth edition of Corporate Criminal Liability has been thoroughly revised, expanded and updated to explain the criminal process from the perspective of the corporate defendant with a scholarly analysis of the principles of corporate liability. In particular, it provides expert discussion on the latest practice on DPAs, issues with identification theory and delegation, questions of jurisdiction, and sentencing. The work also explains specific offences such as insolvency restrictions, Companies Act offences, and corporate manslaughter.
