Description
Summary:We conducted a meta‐analysis of corporate crime deterrence strategies by using 80 effect sizes calculated from 58 studies in four treatment areas—Law, Punitive Sanctions, Regulatory Policy, and Multiple Treatments. Of the single‐treatment strategies, only Regulatory Policy produced a significant deterrent impact at the company level, but the results were not consistent across all study and effect size types. Studies examining multiple treatments, though, produced a consistent, significant deterrent effect on offending at both the individual and company levels.
