RANSIEK, Andreas
Criminal sanctions against corporations? / Andreas Ransiek
European Criminal Law Review, Munich, v.5 n.3 (2015), p.337-346


DIREITO PENAL, RESPONSABILIDADE PENAL DAS PESSOAS COLECTIVAS, SANÇÃO ADMINISTRATIVA

Most European countries impose criminal sanctions on corporations. This article argues that whereas administrative sanctions should be provided for by law to deter offences in the course of business, there is no benefit in criminalising corporate wrongdoing. If administrative sanctions against corporations and other business enterprises apply, the law might forgo the criminal responsibility of natural persons.
