“…Several years ago Snider published an "obituary" for the sociology of corporate crime [42]. She argued that because of a political and cultural shift after the 1970s in North America's dominant knowledge claims, toward neo-liberal arguments justifying the virtues of capitalist markets unfettered by government "interference," corporate crime has been decriminalized and even deregulated; hence the "disappearance" of such crime.…”

Diverse social and political forces have long shaped research on corporate crime and its social control in the U.S., and they have responded to this work in plural and contradictory ways. These forces range from the abstract and institutional to the local and personal. In this essay, I reflect on my three decades of research experience in this arena in an examination of these forces and their implications for research and public policy. More overtly than other forms of criminological research, the study of corporate lawbreaking has conjoined issues of values and politics with issues of science. This feature of the work has made consistently problematic such foundational questions as how to define the subject of inquiry, how to study it, and how to communicate about it. While this volatility has contributed to the ongoing marginalization of this research stream in both academic criminology and regulatory policy, it has also created a certain intellectual dynamism that should attract future generations of investigators to these questions, and to greater cross-disciplinary efforts to address them. Such developments may even pave the way to greater consideration of such research by policy-makers, should socioeconomic conditions in the U.S. and around the world raise the public salience of corporate wrongdoing.'Why do you want to study corporate managers? We know how they think.''…a book entitled Corporate Crime automatically puts us on guard to defend the corporations…such a book should never have been written in the first place.'

“…Second, she notes that the recent shift has not been complete. In particular, she points out that an activist environmental movement has constrained the deregulation of environmental pollution by industry ( [42]: 187-188; cf., [55]). …”

“…Les sous-sections suivantes retracent les facteurs structurels à l'origine de cet espace de contestation qui fut, l'espace d'un moment, très propice au changement. Même si ces facteurs sont généralement perçus comme favorisant le passage à l'acte (Shover et Hochstetler, 2006 ;Shover et Wright, 2001 ;Snider, 2000), ils peuvent aussi augmenter la vigilance qui entoure les pratiques transgressives des élites, voire réduire celles-ci. 17.…”

“…But even this generally begs the issue of the capacity of capital, particularly transnational, to defend its interests through legal and extra-legal means. It has been observed, for example, that the broad tendency under neo-liberalism has been toward de-regulation (or, as a variation of this, 'self-regulation') when it comes to corporate harm and wrongdoing (Snider 2000). In the specific area of environmental regulation, the role of government remains central, even if only by the absence of state intervention.…”

This article considers corruption in Australia in relation to the exploitation and preservation of natural resources. In doing so, it examines issues pertaining to a proposed pulp mill and the forestry industry in Tasmania, the development of mining and ports in Queensland, and international agreements pertaining to deep-sea oil drilling in the Timor Sea. Corruption relating to the environment is interpreted in this article as implying both moral corruption and/or direct corruption. Gaining unfair advantage, protecting specific sectoral interests and over-riding existing environmental regulations are all features of the types of corruption associated with the exploitation of natural resources. The result is lack of transparency, a substantial democratic deficit, and expenditure of public monies, time and resources in support of environmentally and socially dubious activities. KeywordsNatural resources; corruption; securitisation; state-corporate crime. Please cite this article as:
