RESARCH PAPER QUESTION:
You may choose your own topic for your Research Paper. Your topic must relate to an issue relevant to this unit, although it does not need to be a topic directly addressed in seminars.
You will need to critically analyse a Corporate Crime issue in your Research Paper. You are expected to select a topic which can be phrased as a question, and provide an answer to that question in your Research Paper. Your Research Paper must present an argument, and must not merely be descriptive, or a summary of the ideas of others.
The following is a list of suggested topics, but you are not obliged to choose any of them (although you are free to do so if you wish):
1. Should insider trading be decriminalised?
2. Do regulators have sufficient power to deal with corporate criminals?
3. Should the penalties for corporate crimes be increased?
4. Did corporate crime cause the Global Financial Crisis? (I have chosen this one for my research paper)
5. Should the legal principles of corporate criminal liability be reformed?
6. Is corporate social responsibility is the key to reducing corporate crime?
7. How can the victims of corporate crime best be compensated?
