Negotiated justice and corporate crime: The legitimacy of recovery orders and deferred prosecution agreements

Negotiated Justice and Corporate Crime: The Legitimacy of Recovery Orders and Deferred Prosecution Agreements by Colin King and Nicholas Lord explores how corporate wrongdoing is increasingly handled through “accommodation” rather than through criminal prosecution in the UK. Providing evidence for a central contention of Edwin Sutherland’s work on the differential enforcement of white-collar crime, the authors demonstrate how wrongdoing is differentially enforced using civil recovery orders (CROs) and deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs), which have become the normal policy response to corporate wrongdoing. As the authors make clear, non-prosecution options are oriented toward negotiation and accommodation by the state rather than the more punitive aims of criminal prosecution and punishment.
