The corporation as a city
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the social and structural relationships of the corporation, as these factors may or may not affect the prevalence and type of white-collar crimes committed within the organization. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper, a social disorganization framework as a potential means to explain criminal behavior throughout the corporate hierarchy has been applied. Findings – This paper is conceptual in nature, providing discussion on the application of the principles of social disorganization theory and the concentric zone model, as well as future steps for evaluation. Originality/value – The application of the social disorganization framework may provide valuable insight into how the social and structural elements of the corporation can contribute to crime within the organization and suggest modifications for deterrence.
