"Companies 'Named And Shamed' For Bad Behavior"

By Douglas A. Berman

ADVERTISEMENTS

The title of this post is the headline of this effective NPR piece discussing shaming sanctions in a distinct setting. Here is how the piece starts: Newspapers are full of apologies these days, from Toyota to Tiger Woods. But papers in the Boston area are also running a growing number of "mea culpas" that are ordered by the courts. Increasingly, companies that plead guilty to crimes that harm the community ? polluting, for example ? are being required to publish an apology as part of their punishment.
