I'm not sure where you're reading that the thief shouldn't also be charged. That's obvious, but if you need me to spell it out: yes.

What I'm talking about is how companies should bear liability for the social consequences of their choices.

The linked page doesn’t define ‘social consequences of their choices’ nor do any of the linked or cited texts, and most don’t even touch on the issue of differences between ‘companies’ making a choice and individuals within the companies making a choice.

Is there a more credible source?
