A quick definition of organizational crime:
Organizational crime is when a group of people, usually working for a company, break the law. This can include things like fraud, stealing, or lying to make money. Even though a company is not a person, it can still be punished for the crimes committed by its employees.A more thorough explanation:
Organizational crime refers to crimes committed by a corporation or its representatives acting on its behalf. Examples of organizational crime include price-fixing and consumer fraud. Although a corporation as an entity cannot commit a crime other than through its representatives, it can be named as a criminal defendant.
For instance, if a company's executives engage in insider trading, they are committing organizational crime. Similarly, if a corporation knowingly sells a defective product to consumers, it is committing a crime against the public.
