Offering comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the criminal liability of companies, this text takes the reader systematically through each statutory liability, clarifying the vague responsibilities of corporations for common law offences such as homicide and shameless indecency. With a clear, practical explanation of the complex problems in this area of the law, the book covers in detail the implications of the new criminal offence of corporate manslaughter. It refers throughout to major cases, such as Bophal, Zebrugge and the Piper Alpha.
