Corporate Crime: Exploitation of Migrant Children Name Department Course Professor Date

1 What are the crimes allegedly committed in this case, and by whom? Violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which governs the employment of children in non-agricultural businesses, may be among the offenses accused in instances of child labor exploitation (U.S. Department of Labor, 2022). Some examples of infractions include paying children below the minimum wage or making them work excessive hours, as well as engaging minors in dangerous or illegal activities. Employers that knowingly hire minors, as well as any third-party recruiters or labor contractors, may be held liable for any infractions that occur during the employment process. Why is this story a good example of corporate crime, according to Rothe and Kauznarich? Is it also a case of state-corporate crime? Rothe and Kauznarich define corporate crime as any action taken by a business or other big organization that violates either legal or ethical standards and causes damage to either people or society as a whole (2016). Due to the criminal nature of exploiting children for work in a business setting, this practice ought to be classified as corporate crime. If the government does not strictly enforce labor rules or otherwise supports or aids the exploitation of minors by companies, this might be an instance of state-corporate crime. What is the social harm caused by the alleged criminals, and what are its consequences? The effects of exploiting children in the workplace may be far-reaching and long-lasting. When children are coerced into working in dangerous or unlawful environments, they are at risk of suffering from physical and emotional abuse, as well as being denied access to school and other resources. Physical and mental health issues, diminished future earning capacity, and the perpetuating of the poverty cycle are all possible outcomes of such exploitation (Ibrahim et al.,

2 2019). Child labor is harmful not just to the children involved, but also to the economy as a whole and the social safety net that protects them. What needs to happen to eliminate this criminality? The problem of exploited child labor cannot be solved with a single strategy but rather calls for public and private sector involvement. Increased enforcement of labor laws, the imposition of sanctions for noncompliance, and heightened public awareness might all contribute to this goal (Van de Glind & Kou, 2013). Businesses and other employers should also take steps to eliminate the use of child labor and other types of exploitation from their supply networks.
