Abstract

Scholarship on corporate crime focuses, quite naturally, on profit-motivated crime. But there are crimes with an institutional dimension that are not recognized in this framework of corporate crime. In this article, I present a case study of a police organization where multiple employees committed sexual assaults to show that these crimes can have an organizational dimension. This analysis shows two things: first, that the corporate-culture model of attributing mens rea is more effective at identifying corporate crime than the one currently in force in Canada and second, that organization-facilitated sexual assault is a corporate-entity crime, broadening the conception of corporate crime generally. The corporate-culture model explains why corporations should be liable for crimes they encourage employees to commit even when these are not in line with the organization’s objectives.

警察性暴力和公司犯罪
有关公司犯罪的学术研究很自然地侧重于以利润为动机的犯罪。但是,在公司犯罪的框架下,还有一些具有制度维度的犯罪没有被认识到。在本文中,我通过对一个警察组织中多名员工实施性侵犯的案例研究,来说明这些犯罪可能具有组织维度。这一分析表明了两点:首先,与加拿大现行的犯罪意图归因模式相比,企业文化模式在识别企业犯罪方面更为有效;其次,组织促成的性侵犯属于企业实体犯罪,从总体上拓宽了企业犯罪的概念。公司文化模式解释了为什么公司应为其鼓励员工犯下的罪行负责,即使这些罪行不符合组织的目标。
