That's a big assertion to make without any evidence. There's a lot of individual crime which is not intentional (e.g. driving related) and there is a lot of corporate crime where someone clearly made a decision. In particular corporations employ lawyers so they have people qualified to decide if a crime is likely being committed.


Interestingly, driving infractions are mostly noncriminal.

Corporations are giant responsibility diffusion machines and more often than not they stumble into illegal activity rather than internally commit to it. Hence, they are not acting intentionally. Also relevant is my assertion that this bumbling illegal behavior also needs better enforcement - it's just civil in nature and not criminal.
