Three papers on theory and method in criminological research address the conceptualization of organizational crime in a world of plural cultures; the relationship between research results and public policy; and some cautions in the investigation of sensational cases of organizational misconduct. Five papers on white-collar crime and corporate crime consider fraud by business controllers, victims of investment fraud, accounting for fraud in the penny-stock industry, life-course theory and white-collar crime, and the system of corporate crime control. The three case studies of white-collar crime involve medical fraud, the Archer Daniels Midland Antitrust Case of 1996, and the Westray Mine disaster in Canada. The five papers on studies in social control focus on the challenge of social control under current rapid technological change, the impact of new technologies on the interception of communications by law enforcement agencies, criminal environmental law and corporate strategy, a new vision for rehabilitative prisons, and the obstructions faced by women in policing. Four papers discuss issues in international and comparative studies, including cross-national comparative studies in criminology, the role of fraud in the Japanese financial crisis, victimization impact from transnational white-collar crime, and the purposes and methods of comparative criminology. Three papers on the various forms of crime consider the evolution in bankruptcy law, youth gang patterns, and burglars' criminal methods in searching a residence. Chapter notes and references
