Measuring Compliance

Melissa Rorie is an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV). Her research predominantly examines the impact of formal and informal controls on corporate and white-collar offending as well as theoretical explanations for elite crime and corporate noncompliance. Benjamin van Rooij is Professor of Law and Society at the Faculty of Law, University of Amsterdam and Global Professor of Law at the University of California, Irvine. His research focuses on individual differences in compliance, toxic corporate culture, and assumptions about behavioral change.

'Few subjects are as critical as the fairness and reliability of regulatory compliance to securing the legitimacy of democratic governance. Measuring Compliance tackles the too often overlooked yet fundamental challenge of addressing corporate crime that systematically undermines citizens' confidence in government. Here is a collection of cutting-edge research, offering a handbook of essential methods for identifying and promoting more consistent regulatory compliance in the too illusive phenomena of corporate misbehavior. The editors have provided not only a welcome set of tools but a marvelous read as well.' Susan Silbey, Leon and Anne Goldberg Professor of Sociology and Anthropology; Behavioral and Policy Sciences, MIT Sloan School of Management, M.I.T.
