Great Surface

Chapter 4 recounts how the United States Department of Justice obstructed missing child legislation in the early eighties but eventually buckled under pressure from activists, who deployed an affective politics of child safety to paint the DOJ as cruel and obstinate. The DOJ subsequently transformed into the federal entity most committed to the child safety cause, working to publicize and combat the problems of child abduction, exploitation, sexual abuse, and pornography. The Department’s “conversion” proved vital to the making of a punitive child safety regime in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Libor Manipulation

HSBC has entered into a $1.92bn deferred prosecution with the Department of Justice in the United States to settle charges that the bank’s compliance systems and corporate governance controls had failed to prevent money laundering and sanctions violations on an industrial scale. The violations spanned the globe and demonstrated fundamental flaws with the bank’s business model. The article evaluates the terms of the settlement and explores the national and extra-territorial implications. It argues that the settlement, the largest ever imposed on a financial institution, marks a significant turning point in the use of criminal prosecution precisely because it occurred just as the still burgeoning London Interbank Offered Rate (Libor) manipulation scandal reaches a denouement.
