Diamantis on Character Theory of Corporate Punishment


Monday, January 14, 2019

 

In an earlier article, I introduced the character theory of corporate punishment. Inspired by virtue ethics, the theory proposes that criminal law should punish corporations only by coercively reforming the criminogenic organizational traits responsible for the corporation's crime. In a response, Professor Hasnas argued that character theory is better viewed as a theory of corporate regulation rather than punishment. This reply concessively counters that one of character theory's strengths is that its recommendations have both regulatory and punitive dimensions.
