SYNOPSIS: International bribery and corruption, fraud in the testing of drugs, criminal negligence in the unsafe manufacture of drugs--the pharmaceutical industry has a worse record of law-breaking than any other industry. In this revealing study, Dr John Braithwaite describes many examples of corporate crime, which illustrate the depth and seriousness of the crime problem in the pharmaceutical industry. He shows how pharmaceutical transnational corporations defy the intent of laws regulating the safety of drugs by bribery, false advertising, fraud in the safety testing of drugs, unsafe manufacturing processes, smuggling and international law evasion strategies. He also emphasises the fact that Third World countries are special victims of the global law evasion strategies of transnationals. Based on extensive international research, including interviews with 131 senior executives of pharmaceutical companies in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico and Guatemala, the book is a major study of white-collar crime. It will greatly advance our understanding of corporate crime as a social phenomenon, focusing less on the idea of individual responsibility for the crime than on the structural pre-conditions for it, and on the mechanics of corporate decision-making. In a final chapter Dr Braithwaite considers the implications of his study for a range of strategies to control corporate crime, nationally and internationally. John Braithwaite is Director of the Australian Federation of Consumer Organizations. The data in this book were collected while he was a Research Criminologist at the Australian Institute of Criminology and a Fulbright Fellow affiliated to the University of California, Irvine, and the United Nations Center on Transnational Corporations. His published books include Inequality, Crime and Public Policy (Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1979). Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 003987
