The initial momentum behind the writing of this book was to extend and enrich criminological discourse by examining the evolving role of corporate conformance in upholding the social license to operate in cases of white-collar and corporate wrongdoing (Gottschalk & Hamerton 2023, 2024). Exploratory research contended that, in recent years, conformance had increasingly influenced corporate behavior and played a central role in the escalation and handling of organizational crises. A wave of highly publicized international scandals had brought widespread attention to the profound consequences of corporate misconduct, revealing not only significant financial and environmental damage but also operational disruptions and threats to organizational survival. In response, academic inquiry had grown steadily, focusing on the origins, interpretations, and strategic management of such crises with the aim of better understanding their dynamics and improving preventative approaches (Gottschalk & Hamerton, 2024).
