Über dieses Buch

In the fight against organizational malpractice and organized crime, both international guidelines and national regulations have become stricter. Nevertheless, the results seem not to reach the expected change. Corruption scandals involving large companies, political parties, sports organizations, hospitals, etc. have not come to an end. In order to explain the collective illegality within and through organizations of different sectors and embedded in different cultures, this conference proceedings gathers articles about corporate and organized crime by international renowned scientists and experts. The focus is on similarities and differences in current corruption cases and other forms of crime as well as questions about conventional and alternative prevention measures.

Introduction – Money is only half of the story
Abstract
Scandals never stop. From Siemens to VW and Petrobras, from FIFA to the DFB—in Germany as well as in other countries—it is the large, renowned companies, clinics, associations and parties that come into the limelight because of their illegal activities with sometimes severe consequences. It is striking that a wide range of areas from economy to politics, from medicine to sports have been affected.

Organizational wrongdoing: Bribery, fraud, cheating – Insights into the Herrenhausen Symposium, October 5-7, 2017
Abstract
The Herrenhausen Symposium, which took place at the Herrenhausen Palace in Hanover, Germany, on October 5–7, 2017, was a major platform for academic exchange about the phenomenon of organizational wrongdoing for scientists and practitioners from all over the world. As a complement to the project “The Fight against Corruption and Manipulation—Regulation and Self-Regulation in Medicine and the Economy”, organized by the research group for “Organizational Deviance Studies” from Heidelberg University and generously funded by the Volkswagen Foundation—the largest German private non-profit organization promoting research and education in sciences, social sciences and humanities, which is independent from the car manufacturer of the same name—, this symposium offered an excellent opportunity to shed light on bribery, fraud and cheating in various sectors as well as considering the different theoretical and practical perspectives while focusing on the key issues of these manifestations of organizational wrongdoing.

Organized crime, money laundering and corruption in Europe

Frontmatter
The fight against the mafia in Italy and Europe
Abstract
One of the main hurdles to building an effective European anti-mafia strategy is the cultural gap that exists between the complex reality of such criminal phenomena and knowledge thereof held by public opinion. The belief is still widespread that the mafias are criminal phenomena that are only present in certain countries—Italy, Turkey and the Balkan countries—where they originate from the particular cultures and national histories of those peoples. The media have also contributed to instilling in the collective imagination the idea that mafiosi are rude and violent characters, animated by an insatiable thirst for wealth, exactly as they are featured in highly successful films and television series.
Roberto Scarpinato
The mafia in the media
Abstract
The media are largely responsible for the portrayal of the mafia. Articles, movies, music and even literature: They spread a certain image of the mafia. Mario Puzo did the bosses a great favor when he turned the mafia into a myth.

The fight against organized crime
Abstract
Our traditional understanding of organized crime is influenced by Italian criminal gangs. Much better known as Mafia they represent a national phenomenon divided by regional roots and developments. Those groups have been established in the 19th century and started with black mailing and other crimes which have been realized on local or regional fields only.

Anti-corruption in Brazil – Criticisms and developments
Abstract
Brazil is well known for courtesy, but courtesy has become a synonym of corruption. Brazilians feel that our moral reached the bottom of the well. On the other side, even lay people are aware of the meaning of money laundering.

Operation Car Wash – The new paradigm to fight corruption
Abstract
In December 2013, I received, in the Federal Regional Court of Appeals for the 4th region (TRF4), an unpretentious writ of mandamus lodged against a judicial decision that froze the assets of a company that was required to report on a breach of data secrecy.

The incomplete transition. A review of the recent changes in Brazil’s electoral financing model
Abstract
Competitive elections are the major element of contemporary representative democracy (Schumpeter, 1942) and they come at a cost. Hence, the importance of electoral financing is an issue that has attracted increasing attention from political scientists (Mutch, 2016; Norris and van Es, 2016; Stratmann, 2005). With regard to electoral financing sources, the key question is to define the types of resources allowed (private resources, public resources or both) and the relative weight assigned to each (Bourdoukan, 2009).

Corruption in China

Corporate compliance and industrial sophistication
Abstract
In Chinese, hegui is translated from the English word “compliance”. Compliance means “to abide by, to obey”, which is usually understood as to proactively abide by rules that broadly include laws, moral teachings, contracts, etc. Opposite to compliance is non-compliance, which means to violate, to refuse to abide by or obey.

Fraud in medicine

Manipulation of medical patient data in organ transplantation as attempted homicide?
Abstract
In June of the past year, the criminal investigation of a case of data manipulation that has shocked German transplantation medicine came to an end. The Federal Court of Justice confirmed the acquittal of a liver surgeon from the accusation of attempted homicide through the false indication of allocation-relevant patient data. This case, which is referred to as the “Göttingen Transplant Scandal” represents a caesura for German transplantation medicine, for it led not only to a sharp drop in the already decreasing number of postmortal organ donations, but also to a regular monitoring of all transplant centers in Germany since 2012.

How to explain and to prevent corporate crime?

Frontmatter
Esprit de corps as a source of deviant behavior in organizations. Applying an old concept with a new livery
Abstract
Deviance and misconduct refer to the “dark side” of organizational actors, which has been studied since the early days of Organizational Sociology (cf. Vaughan, 1999). Scrutinizing this topic, several sociological studies consider deviance on an aggregated level, such as the company as a whole. An example of this is the refinement of the term “useful illegality”, by Pohlmann et al. (2016), which was originally developed by Luhmann (1964).

Corporate non-compliance and corporate identity building – A management dilemma. Early indicators of organizationally driven deviance traps
Abstract
The current scientific debate demonstrates that present research models fail to assess the effectiveness of corporate compliance systems for the prevention of non-compliant behaviour. While research is intensified in this field, the Foreign Bribery Report (OECD, 2014) confirms an increase of non-compliance incidents and the involvement of corporate management and central executive officers in non-compliant behaviour. Most recent scandals in the German automotive industry show that origins of non-compliant behaviour with regard to formal rules are not only motivated by individual and financial gain, but explanations must be considered as being organisationally and culturally embedded.

Abstract
Corporate crime exists in many forms. This treatise shall commence with an example which assesses one of the most notorious manifestations of corporate crime: The problem of corruption seems to be known world-wide in terms of its consequences and extent. In particular, this applies to the upcoming generation of young people entering the professional world.

Does illegality become natural? Systemic and preventive effects of the market economy
Abstract
Generally speaking, criminological literature views the market economy as a driving force behind profit-driven crime with titles such as Crime as an American Way of Life (Bell, 1953) and Crime and the American Dream (Messner and Rosenfeld, 2007). Basically, US-American capitalism is taken as a critical example of a culture of rigid competition conveying the values of social Darwinism in which solidarity and consideration for others are alien concepts (Currie, 1997; Hagan et al., 2000). Although there is much justification for this criticism of the dominance of the economic system, particularly by the institutional anomie theory of Messner and Rosenfeld (2007), it fails to differentiate between not only driving but also preventive effects of the market economy.
