  • Naheeda Ali

Abstract

Corporate crime encompasses unlawful actions perpetrated by people or entities during their commercial or professional endeavours. Financial motives often drive these offences, including fraud, embezzlement, bribery, insider trading, and money laundering. Corporate crime may substantially affect people, businesses, and the social order. The study on corporate crime aims to comprehend the motives and actions of individuals involved in such activities and uncover the organisational and social variables that contribute to these crimes. These variables can include corporate culture, economic conditions, and regulatory frameworks. This leads to an increase in the frequency of corporate crime and the advancement of novel techniques for sleuthing and deterring corporate crime. This research examines corporate crime theory, sentencing and punishment trends, and crime prevention and control programs. This analysis suggests numerous new and intriguing corporate crime research topics. It also shows how technique and data restrictions limit this discipline. Research on corporate crime emphasises the importance of assessing inquiries and has significantly improved our understanding of criminal motivations, behaviours, and methods. However, the psychological traits of corporate criminals, such as narcissism, lack of empathy, and risk-taking propensity, need further study. Equally intriguing is the influence of technology on crime detection, an area that requires further exploration. The role of organisational culture in corporate crime also needs further investigation. Practical corporate crime prevention and laws must be prioritised. The research examines corporate crime not only just in the perspective of Pakistan but globally and interculturally.
