Celia Wells is professor of law at Cardiff University where she has
taught and researched since 1986. In 2001 she held a visiting
position as PriceWaterhouseCoopers Legal Chair in Women and the Law
at the University of Sydney. Her research has mainly focused on
criminal law, in particular the criminal liability of corporations
(Corporations and Criminal Responsibility 1993 (OUP)). Reflecting
her interest in issues of risk and blame, Celia Wells has also
published
Negotiating Tragedy (1995) a study of the law relating to
disasters. With Nicola Lacey, she is co-author of Reconstructing
Criminal Law (2nd edition 1998), a student text which draws on a
wide range
of contextual material and adopts an explicitly feminist
perspective.

`I was pleasantly suprised to find myself enjoying this thoughtful
and thorough walk through the world of criminal responsibility in
contemporary business. Matching legal and corporate theory with
recent case studies, I was pleased at the way the author gave a
balanced argument of both sides ... well researched ... both
relevant and topical ... The sections on corporate killing and the
arguments over strict liability were especially thought
provoking.'
