In conjuncture with the debate on corporate governance and compliance, the questions surrounding the causes of white collar-crime and the possibilities of preventing such in companies have become increasingly important. The current practiced measures (such as the development of ethical guidelines, compliance training programs, whistle-blowing, etc.) must be viewed as less than ideal solutions due to the lack of respective empirical evaluation of the efficiency of such measures or because existing findings are not easily accessible. The Handbook of White-Collar Criminology closes this gap.
