Corporate and white-collar crime in Ireland

The book offers a comprehensive analysis of corporate regulation and enforcement in Ireland from its inception to the present. It highlights the shift from traditional criminal justice methods to a more fragmented approach since the 1990s, where specialized agencies with enhanced powers tackle corporate misconduct. The evolution of enforcement strategies is discussed, showcasing a pyramidal structure that prioritizes compliance and utilizes both civil and criminal mechanisms, with criminal law becoming a last resort for addressing corporate wrongdoing.
