Abstract

184 BOOK REVIEWS ANZJ Crirn (1981) 14 corporate crime. Conservative legalists will criticise them for this as well. Corporate Crime is an aggressive book. Like all works that have something to say in a politically sensitive area, it will ruffle some feathers. The feathers will be the better for the ruffling.

Schrager and Short provocatively use survey research on community perceptions of the seriousness of crime to explode the myth that ordinary folk do not regard white-collar crime as serious. Gross's "Organization Structure and Organizational Crime" and Vaughan's "Crime Between Organizations" rank with Clinard and Yeager's Chapter 3 as notable advances in our understanding of the organizational dynamics of corporate crime. There are three chapters by Shover, Reasons and Goff, and Carson which analyse the historical forces which were at work and the interest groups which were served by new laws to regulate corporate conduct in three different areas - coal mining, antitrust and occupational safety.
