On 30 September, an Insight from RUSI asks if ‘failure to prevent’ offences had an impact on the criminal liability for corporate entities? It explains that the basis of a failure to prevent offence is simple – to have any defence, an organisation needs to prove that it had ‘reasonable’ or ‘adequate’ procedures in place to prevent an individual associated with it from carrying out a criminal activity. The first failure to prevent offence was introduced in relation to bribery in 2010; 2 further failure to prevent offences followed in the Criminal Finances Act 2017 related to the facilitation of tax evasion.
