Summary: A classic study of corporate crime in America, now available for the first time the way Sutherland originally wrote itÑwith names and case studies of the offenders included.\ÒNow that corporate crime has become a documented tradition of widespread scope, SutherlandÕs proper name data can be released to fill out this remarkable and courageous work of criminological scholarship.ÓÑRalph Nader\ÒA scholarly and scalding examination of business and criminology, with an informative introduction.ÓÑNewsday\ÒThe book contains an excellent introduction by Geis and Goff and reveals, in vivid detail, the corporate looting, price-fixing cartels, union busting, and wartime profiteering engaged in by the most famous names of American businessÉ.
