More than a decade later, the government introduced revisions to the \u003cem\u003eCriminal Code of Canada\u003c\/em\u003e aimed at strengthening corporate criminal liability. Bill C-45, dubbed the Westray bill, requires employers to ensure a safe workplace and attributes criminal liability to organizations for seriously injuring or killing workers and\/or the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eStill Dying for a Living,\u003c\/em\u003e Steven Bittle turns a critical eye on Canada’s corporate criminal liability law. Interweaving Foucauldian and neo-Marxist literatures with in-depth interviews and parliamentary transcripts, Bittle reveals how various legal, economic, and cultural discourses surrounding the Westray bill downplayed the seriousness of workplace injury and death, effectively characterizing these crimes as regrettable but largely unavoidable accidents. As long as the primary causes of workplace injury and death are not properly scrutinized, Bittle argues, workers will continue to die in the pursuit of earning a living. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steven Bittle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573191016630,"sku":"9780774823616","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780774823616_ba87229e-c4da-4520-8ade-ef277451f943.jpg?v=1727876984","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/still-dying-for-a-living-2","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
