The course is part of the focal area Law, Society and Power. Students
will be introduced to examples of legislative debates over corporate
crime regulation in different national context, including Finland,
Poland, Germany, Canada and UK as well as on the European level. The
law-making process is placed in a broader social, historical, political,
cultural, and economic contexts, in order to explore how regulation of
corporate crime and harm shapes and is shaped by these contexts. In
addition, the course introduces selected methods of socio-legal research
as an important tool to challenge dominant paradigms in law, and
criminal law in particular.
