The Sociology of Corporate Crime: An Obituary

(Or: Whose Knowledge Claims have Legs?)

LAUREEN SNIDER

Queen's University, Ontario, Canada

This article makes three arguments: first, that the brand of state regulation known as corporate crime has basically disappeared; second, that it has been argued into obsolescence through neoliberal knowledge claims advanced through specific discourses by powerful elites; and third, that the acceptance of these knowledge claims cannot be understood without examining their relationship to the corporate counter-revolution that has, over the last two decades, legitimized virtually every acquisitive, profit-generating act of the corporate sector, transforming the developed (and developing) world.

Key Words: corporate crime • knowledge claims
