CJ PAPER

Broad changes at the social level, such as raising awareness of the seriousness of white collar crime, the mechanisms that encourage it, and the social conventions that contribute to its continued existence, may ultimately prove useful in limiting white collar crime. On a more practical level, various specific policy options are available to respond to white collar crime, ranging from public shaming, self-policing, and private negotiation to citizen group boycotts, civil lawsuits, administrative justice, and criminal prosecution and punishment.

Various approaches may also be used to secure compliance and sanction white collar crime.  Given the vast resources available to many of the corporations and individuals they are dealing with, many agencies favor a cooperative approach to compliance.  Compliance may also be achieved or encouraged through informal means of social control, such as the normative form of reintegrative shaming.  However, compliance may also be pursued through more formal and coercive policy measures in terms of both generalized deterrence and specific responses such as civil suits, penalties, and other punitive approaches to ensuring compliance.  Other punitive approaches include rehabilitation, probation, enforced self-regulation, fines, restitution, community service, and incarceration.  Occupational disqualification is among the serious punitive approaches for people in the professions, just as corporate dissolution (“capital punishment”) is for a company. One alternative response to addressing corporate crime is organizational reform, which includes making corporations more accountable for their actions.
