Columns on Punishing Corporations that Commit Child Abuse and Neglect

Erik Devereux is a columnist for the online edition of the PA Times, a publication of the American Society for Public Administration.

Erik authored a six-part series on punishing corporations (rather than people) for committing child abuse and neglect. This series argues that governments should give out the corporate death penalty in these cases, shutting down the organizations, seizing their assets, and compensating victims.
