Abstract
Criminological insights concerning the topic of corporate crime show few and contradictory empirical findings and they are mainly built on theories originating from the field of street-crime offenses. Even though the object of research is pointing to organizations as a special form of social order, insights of social-scientific research on organizations are mostly ignored. This leads to problems of explanation and it aggravates the development of a fruitful field of research. The article summarizes the current state of research on the topic of corporate crime, it depicts immanent gaps in explanations and it outlines consequences resulting from a consideration of organizational-sociologically based findings. It is proposed to use some proved results from this field of research to reinterpret cases of corporate crime.
