Paper Summary:

This paper begins by providing an overview of a history of crime in the pharmaceutical industry. It then analyzes the phenomenon of corporate crime in the industry and common types of crimes. Further discussed is crime in university laboratories and an analysis of the motives for these crimes.

From the Paper:

"Despite common belief, pharmaceutical companies choose most of the drugs that are prescribed, not doctors. This creates many opportunities for crime and bad business practices in the pharmaceutical industry. For example, celecoxib, the largely promoted COX-2 drug for arthritis, sold over $1 billion before a single study was published in a medical journal comparing it to similar drugs."
