Despite the fact that CCL has been effective in safety crimes for over 10 years, there are hardly any studies examining the implementation of CCL. Nevertheless, the volume of occupational safety crimes reported to the authorities has more than doubled during 1996-2010, rising to 238 yearly cases in 2010. Since 2005 the amount of CCL convictions has also been on the rise, but still very few cases of safety crimes are convicted and even fewer punished with a corporate fine. In our presentation, we will also discuss our preliminary results of the data on corporate criminal liability convictions in Finland during 2010-2014. With a quantitative inquiry, we have scrutinized the convictions as to find out the characteristics of the cases that do end up in court and convicted. We will examine, among other things, the amount of fines, the severity of injury and the relationship between the two.

Using multisited qualitative methodology – interviews with professionals, students and lawyers, context analysis in newspaper reports and documents issued from the Ministry of Education as well as documents of unions and participant observation – this work aims at participating in the relevant academic discussion by employing the following hypotheses: Is white collar crime in Greek academia performed in organized structures and enjoys the involvement of the administrators and legislators? Is it characterized as conventional or unconventional behavior (amoral or innovative ordinary crime)? Is it a product of the New Greek University (Law 4009/2011) which heads towards corporatization of academic research and commercialization of knowledge? _____________________________________________________ PARALLEL SESSION 5 Illegal wildlife trade, crimes and harms from a non-anthropocentric perspective Ragnhild Sollund University of Oslo The illegal wildlife trade is increasing world wide.
