Considerations on the possibility of developing a model of punishing collective entities

Abstract

Article concerns issues of necessity of establishing criminal lability of collective entities and questions about model of this penal lability. There are difficulties in developing a single concept of this lability, but that penal lability of collective entities is one of the legal standards at European Union. There is no doubt, that many dangerous practices are results of corporations activity. So it must be said, that such widening of criminal liability is obvious, but the question is if established model is effective and is adequate to standards of criminal lability of natural persons.
