Harm caused by corporations, such as unsafe products, dangerous work conditions, or pollution.

• A. Criminogenic Corporate Culture
• B. Embezzlement
• C. Bribery
• D. Corporate Violence

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that harm caused by corporate activity is best described as corporate violence. This term highlights the direct and systemic damage to people and communities that can come from unsafe products, dangerous work conditions, and pollution. It emphasizes that the impact isn’t just about specific crimes, but about the serious, sometimes preventable harm produced by corporate decisions and neglect—whether through negligence, unsafe practices, or environmental harm.

Criminogenic corporate culture points to an environment that may foster crime inside a company, but it doesn’t by itself describe the harm to workers or the public from daily operations. Embezzlement is theft of company funds, a financial crime that doesn’t inherently capture the broader social harm. Bribery is about illicit payments to influence decisions, also narrower in scope. Corporate violence best captures the wide-ranging harm to people that can arise from corporate actions or inactions.
