Food for thought as you read and suggested activities:
Research corporate involvement in the Holocaust and compare this to more current forms of state-corporate crime.
Discuss how state facilitated state corporate crime differs from state initiated state-corporate crime. Are there similarities?

Why do you think the media rarely highlights the role of corporations and states with organized crime groups?
Do you believe implicit links between states and organized crime groups are enough to say a state should also be accountable for the crimes and harms? Why or why not?
Do you believe corporations should be held accountable when they are active agents with organized crime groups? Why or why not?
