Criminal justice contributions and the crisis of client deviance
Criminal justice contributions and the crisis of client deviance
This extended chapter presents episodes where corporate social responsibility had genuine substance rather than being utilized as a public relations device. It is argued that contributions to the prevention and detection of crime are important, particularly as the social license to operate can be strengthened by contribution to state affairs via an active and visible role in matters of communal conformance. This chapter evaluates several case studies of companies that have approached state-corporate alignment processes to strengthen their social license to operate, effectively making criminal justice contributions towards their public perception. It is argued that violation of the corporate social license to operate that involve deviant or negative criminal links can have dramatic consequences for companies and executives. An example highlighted in this chapter is linkage to money laundering in the financial sector. The liability when not preventing money laundering is illustrated by a number of financial sector scandals.

Abstract
This extended chapter presents episodes where corporate social responsibility had genuine substance rather than being utilized as a public relations device. It is argued that contributions to the prevention and detection of crime are important, particularly as the social license to operate can be strengthened by contribution to state affairs via an active and visible role in matters of communal conformance. This chapter evaluates several case studies of companies that have approached state-corporate alignment processes to strengthen their social license to operate, effectively making criminal justice contributions towards their public perception. It is argued that violation of the corporate social license to operate that involve deviant or negative criminal links can have dramatic consequences for companies and executives. An example highlighted in this chapter is linkage to money laundering in the financial sector. The liability when not preventing money laundering is illustrated by a number of financial sector scandals.
