An important source of white-collar crime is that cultures within organizations support it. Identify why these cultures flourish, according to Braithwaite. How do we combat criminal cultures?
What will be an ideal response?
The first reason, emphasized by many other scholars, is that illegal behaviors in the business world have been shamed only infrequently. When harmful acts are not morally rebuked--when moral standards are not defined and reinforced--criminal cultures can persist unimpeded. The second reason, unique to Braithwaite’s perspective, is that efforts undertaken to shame and control untoward practices might have the unanticipated consequences of strengthening cultural values supportive of lawlessness. The core proposition is that stigmatizing shaming fosters an oppositional subculture supportive of white-collar crime.
