A collection of English-language books (and a few looseleafs) on the topic of corporate crime, sorted by jurisdiction and decade.

I’ve relaxed the criteria for inclusion for Australian publications to include select regulatory texts, but strictly focussed on ‘corporate crime’ texts for other jurisdictions.  In particular, white-collar crime books have not been listed unless they include a significant proportion of content regarding the criminal liability of corporations.

Have I missed a useful book?   Let me know.
