Corporate Crime

Corporate crime refers to illegal or unethical actions committed by a company's employees or leaders for financial gain or competitive advantage. These can include fraud, false advertising, environmental violations, insider trading, and safety breaches. Such crimes often involve large-scale operations and can harm consumers, employees, and the public, while benefiting the corporation financially. Unlike individual crimes, corporate crimes are committed in the name of the organization, making accountability complex but essential to maintain fair practices and protect societal interests.
