Deviance has most typically been viewed in individualistic terms. But some of the most significant and consequential deviance and crime is carried out on behalf of organizations, and through the resources that only organizations are able to provide. Accordingly, in the most common invocation of the term organizational deviance, the organization is conceived of as the “actor” that carries out deviant and criminal activities (Bamberger & Sonnenstuhl 1998). Since organizational deviance is inherently social, and collective, it should be of special interest to students of sociology. It has always been a fundamental tenet of sociology that a social entity is more than simply the sum of its individual participants and members
