Abstract
The demand for the introduction or expansion of criminal law in order to regulate and control companies is widespread – also in the criminological discourse. In this discourse, however, scepticism towards criminalization generally prevails. This critical view of criminal law primarily focuses on its effectiveness and side effects in the field of everyday delinquency. Therefore, the question arises as to how the demands for more and at the same time less criminal law can be harmonized. In order to answer this question, the article provides an overview of international research on delinquency by and regulation of organizations. The current state of knowledge suggests that the strength-weakness ratio of criminal law in relation to companies is different from what it is in other sectors.
Zusammenfassung
Forderungen nach der Einführung oder Ausweitung der strafrechtlichen Regulierung und Kontrolle von Unternehmen sind weit verbreitet – auch im kriminologischen Diskurs. Dort herrscht eigentlich aber eher Skepsis gegenüber Kriminalisierungen vor. Diese kritische Sicht auf das Strafrecht bezieht sich vor allem auf dessen Leistungsfähigkeit und Nebenwirkungen im Feld der Alltagsdelinquenz. Daher stellt sich die Frage, wie die Forderungen nach mehr und zugleich weniger Strafrecht miteinander zu vereinbaren sind. Um hierauf eine Antwort zu geben, nimmt der vorliegende Beitrag eine Zusammenschau der internationalen unternehmenskriminologischen Forschung vor. Der aktuelle Wissensstand spricht dafür, dass das strafrechtliche Stärken-Schwächen-Verhältnis gegenüber Unternehmen anders als in anderen Sektoren ausfällt.
