'The editors have put together a strong collection of key perspectives on organizational wrongdoing. As wrongdoing (criminal and moral) is being recognized and labelled across many types of organization and societies, it is heartening to see attention being paid to consequences as well as causes, and context as well as individuals. The editors' introduction and a few chapters also point to important new directions, such as new theorizing and a more international perspective.' David J. Cooper, University of Alberta
