EXAMINATION OF THE DIFFICULTIES INVOLVED IN CHALLENGING AND-OR PUNISHING CRIMES SUCH AS CONSUMER FRAUD, MONOPOLIZATION, AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION.
Abstract
DISCUSSED ARE THE SOCIAL AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS INVOLVED IN ASSESSING WHITE COLLAR CRIME. ALSO EXPLORED IS THE INEFFECTIVENESS OF THE CRIMINAL SANCTION IN FRAUD AND CORRUPTION CASES. THE USE OF CRIMINAL SANCTIONS (UNDER THE REFUSE ACT OF 1899 AND THE 1972 AMENDMENTS) IS REVIEWED AS A MEANS OF CONTROLLING WATER POLLUTION. IN ADDITION, THE DETERRENT EFFECT OF CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS IS ALSO CONSIDERED. A BIBLIOGRAPHY IS PROVIDED.
