Summary:

This book addresses the seriousness of harmful occupational and corporate convenience by deviance in business. At the lower end of seriousness, scholars found that business deviance tends to be perceived as and treated as corporate irresponsibility and not as misconduct, wrongdoing, offending, or law violation. Some studies in Europe have shown that the public apply criteria that regard corporate wrongdoing as a very low enforcement priority. The issue of business deviance seriousness relates both to lack of compliance and lack of conformance. Compliance refers to obeying the formal and informal rules, regulations, and norms in force at a given time and place. Conformance refers to meeting and potentially exceeding societal and other informal norms and obligations. As argued by scholars, organizational theory has long emphasized the importance of conformity to prevailing norms, rules and laws. In this book, the term crime is used in the criminological sense of both compliance and conformance, where the requirement is that the act is bad, and the actor should be punished.
