Abstract

The project consists in the proposal of new fields of research on corporate corruption. It will be structured in two different parts: i) analytics of corporate corruption based in moral pluralism and a critical review of the foundations of the criminological thought. This part aims to identify possible convergences between anomie, moral justifications of authoritarian trends, resentment, lost of trust, organizational pressure, humiliation, and new emerging trends in corporate criminology. And ii) analytics on the conceptual framework of experimental criminology, seeking for convergences with corporate corruption. The main purpose of this research is to create theoretical references for future applied research, experiments, and tests. (AU)
