The Collection Gap: Underenforcement of Corporate and White-Collar Fines and Penalties
By: Ezra Ross and Martin Pritikin
The modern administrative state depends in large part on fines, penalties, restitution orders, and similar sanctions. Contemporary policy assumes that the state, once it orders offenders to pay those sanctions, will collect them. This article suggests that we cannot depend on that assumption. Even where offenders are corporate or white-collar executives with the resources to pay, a fine imposed is in many cases not a fine collected. To the contrary, the available data shows a massive gap between penalties imposed “on the books” and penalties collected in reality.
.. existing scholarship has not seriously addressed what happens after the state orders offenders to pay these sanctions. Instead, the administrative enforcement literature has essentially ignored to what extent offenders actually pay the penalties imposed against them. This Article seeks to describe empirically, for the first time, the degree to which regulators follow through on enforcing corporate and white-collar fines and penalties.
…Administrative agencies never collect the vast brunt of regulatory and criminal penalties. The U.S. Department of Justice, for example, has collected in recent years less than 4% of criminal penalties and fines it imposes.
… The disconnect between enforcement expectations and enforcement reality extends to agency attitudes.According to scholars, regulators impose fines to deter misconduct, compensate victims, and generate government revenue. Ensuring offenders actually pay helps achieve those enforcement goals.
During a recession in which governments are slashing budgets, cutting back public services, and laying off workers, they are at the same time neglecting to recover huge sums from corporations and executives that have actually been found to have engaged in wrongdoing. Particularly in such an economic environment, one would expect a groundswell of support to push government agencies to improve their fine collection rates.
