THE AUTHORS ANALYZE THE INTERNAL ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE (ENTERPRISE JUSTICE) IN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES AND ITS PLACE IN THE FORMAL LEGAL SYSTEM OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY.
Abstract
THE PHENOMENA OF INTERNAL CRIMINALITY IN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES AND THE ROLE, STRUCTURE, AND OPERATION OF ENTERPRISE JUSTICE ARE EXAMINED. PROBLEMS OF REPORTING AND RECORDING, AS WELL AS THE RELUCTANCE OF COWORKERS TO REFER OFFENDERS TO THE FORMAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM ARE ANALYZED ON THE BASIS OF COMPARATIVE RESEARCH CONDUCTED WITH THE MANAGEMENT AND LABOR FORCE OF 540 INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES IN BADEN HUEFLAWSERG. IN A SECOND PART OF THE VOLUME, THE CONCEPT AND PRACTICE OF ENTERPRISE JUSTICE ARE EXAMINED AT SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL LEVELS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GERMAN LEGAL SYSTEM. PARTICULAR REFERENCE IS MADE TO CONSTITUTIONAL AND LABOR LAW. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDE THAT IF OPERATED IN THE OPEN AND WITH APPROPRIATE GUARANTEES, PARTICULARLY INCLUDING LABOR INVOLVEMENT, ENTERPRISE JUSTICE MUST BE CONSIDERED AS BOTH FUNCTIONAL AND LEGITIMATE IN COPING WITH MANY KINDS OF INTERNAL DEVIANCE IN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES. THE APPENDIX CONTAINS THE RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS, A DESRIPTION OF INTERNAL LABOR AND ENTERPRISE JUSTICE REGULATIONS,AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUMMARY, AND A BIBLIOGRAPHY COVERING PRIMARILY GERMAN AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE MATERIALS. --IN GERMAN...KAP
