This discussion question for this week on Crimes will be an Internet research activity. Locate some source material on the Internet on a company and/or management of a company that has been convicted of, or has gone to trial for a business oriented crime. Given the information you discover, analyze the behavior of the company within the context of the legal concepts the chapter presents. I would suggest the IRAC method of analysis. In other words, analyze the actions of the party within the structure of the definition of the crime. Be as specific as possible. As part of your post, comment on the credibility of you sources. Include a link to your sources so that we can all read the articles about the business that you used. Limit your sources to a maximum of two (2). I suggest you review more, but select the best for your post. You will want to make sure the company you selected has had enough information about their situation published so that you can do a reasonable job on this assignment. If enough has not been published, select another company. As for the company you select, do not use any company mentioned in this chapter of the text. Additionally, do not use any company that anyone who posts before you used! After your classmates have posted, discuss the posts of at least two of your classmates with them.
