Abstract/Summary:
This dissertation is essentially devoted to address and compare some important legal aspects of corporate criminal liability in the United States and Saudi Arabia including whether these two countries recognize corporate criminal liability; the laws and general standards that govern corporate criminal liability in both countries; the grounds for holding individual corporate agents criminally liable for committing corporate misconduct in both countries; whether both countries have clear prosecutorial guidelines that may assist corporate prosecutors in determining when and whether a corporation should be prosecuted; and whether there are proper and fair sentencing guidelines that criminal judges of both countries may use when sanctioning corporations.;Moreover, this dissertation suggests comprehensive proposals with regard to the above aspects to be taken into account particularly by Saudi legislation, for the purpose of responding to corporate criminal liability in the most adequate, fair, and efficient manner.
