Fenomenología del employee crime: Bases para definir estrategias de prevención del delito intraempresarial.

Just a little time ago, the economic impact deriving from crime within organisational business settings was not a matter of study, at least of a rigorous and systematic one. No doubt, the increasing interest for quantifying employee crime economic costs, particularly in American and British national economies, has promoted criminological research on criminality within business organisations. In this paper, a portrait of employee crime and other deviant conducts perpetrated within a company in a particular way arises because of the context. For defining crime prevention and control strategies in this field it is crucial to get radical knowledge on employee crime phenomenology; the relations between occupational profile and crime profile; and the situational factors that may facilitate the appearance of crime within organisational settings.
