 Welcome to CWCN Website

 

This site was established through an AHRC-funded project aimed at developing an international network of academics and professionals with an interest in corporate and white-collar crime. We expect it to become a repository for relevant information: new and proposed legislation, breaking cases and judicial decisions interpreting laws relating to corporate criminality.

 

The project is led by Professor James Gobert and Dr. Ana-Maria Pascal from the School of Law, University of Essex, and it brings together academics and professionals from three continents (see the list of Members). Professor Gobert has taught and published extensively in the field of corporate crime over a 15-year period. Dr. Pascal was the UK Director of the Centre for Corporate Accountability (CCA), a London-based charity concerned with worker and public safety, and is now a Lecturer and Senior Researcher at Essex University.

 

If you are interested in corporate crime matters, please get in touch!
