This text aims to provide an in-depth examination of what changes in contemporary capitalism mean for regulatory policy making and the social science study of regulation. Haines draws inspiration from Marx, Weber and organizational theory, as well as criminology, to encourage theoreticians and policy makers to broaden their conception of the problem of regulation. She argues for moving beyond a view of regulation tied to the relationship between government regulator and corporate regulated to take account of the ways in which changing economic circumstances - contracting-out, privatization and globalization - impact on the ethics of corporate behaviour. Regulators, social scientists, policy makers, lawyers, health and safety specialists as well as academics working in the field of regulation should all find value in this book.
