Reviews
“Clarissa Meerts offers a comprehensive contribution to a much neglected and under-explored area of corporate investigations of internal norm violations. Her discerning analyses of corporate practices in matters of private justice and the linkages to the coexisting parallel universe of the public criminal justice system are insightful and comprehensive. Meerts takes the reader on a fascinating tour through a maze of protocols and tools corporate investigators have at their disposal to deal with violations against businesses many of which public sector agencies pay scant attention to” (Mahesh K. Nalla, Michigan State University, USA)
“Despite the burgeoning literature on plural policing, we still know very little about the private investigation of norm violations inside big corporations. It has remained a hidden from view and difficult to reach field of research. Clarissa Meerts' new book is therefore of great significance. It shines much needed empirical and theoretical light into the dark world of corporate investigation and corporate justice, in the process mapping out important new terrain in the plural policing landscape.” (Adam White, University of Sheffield,UK)
“Private fraud investigations have a considerable role in corporate crime control, yet they are highly non-transparent. Clarissa Meerts offers a timely and critical analysis of the practice of corporate investigations and its interaction with legal control, and thus provides much needed insight in the public impact of this private service.” (Judith van Erp, Utrecht University, the Netherlands)
“Public-private cooperation has become a mantra across many fields of policy, industrial security included. In this outstanding study, Clarissa Meerts showsthat cooperation rhetoric runs ahead of reality, and for cogent reasons” (Nicholas Dorn, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, London, UK)
