First published in 1999, this volume is based upon a detailed empirical study of 40 cases of commercially-related deaths - the first such English study - and demonstrates how and why potentially criminal behaviour at work is constructed as merely regulatory misbehaviour or even as no more than an unavoidable 'accident'.
