公众对公司危害的容忍正在消失：工作中的伤亡和交通事故越来越多地促使人们要求起诉公司。企业应该受到惩罚吗？这本书借鉴了哲学、文化和心理因素，考虑了有关公司刑事责任的争论。在公司活动的背景下描述了刑事处罚的理由和刑事责任的基本基础，并审查了例如通过健康和安全立法管制和控制公司损害的制度，并将其与刑法的常规执行进行对比。从调查的制度框架和公众调查等多个角度探讨了公众对公司危害的看法。在《自由企业先驱报》（Herald of Free Enterprise）灾难之后，对P & O过失杀人罪的审判进行了全面分析。
Public toleration of corporate harms is evaporating: deaths and injuries at work and transport accidents increasingly prompt a call for prosecution of a corporation. Should corporations be punished? This book draws on philosophical, cultural and psychological factors in considering arguments about the criminal liability of corporations. Justifications for criminal punishment and the underlying bases of criminal responsibility are described in the context of corporate activities, and the system of regulation and control of corporate harm through, for example, health and safety legislation, is examined and contrasted with conventional enforcement of criminal laws. Public perception of corporate harms are explored from a number of perspectives including the institutional framework of inquests and public inquiries. The trial of P & O on manslaughter charges following the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster is fully analyzed.
