VILALTA PERDOMO, Carlos  e  FONDEVILA, Gustavo. The Victimization of Private Companies in Mexico: Concepts, Theories and Measurements. Gest. polít. pública [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.2, pp.501-540. ISSN 1405-1079.

This study presents the conceptual, theoretical and empirical bases for the study of criminal victimization of the private sector. It contains a review of contemporary theories and a discussion of current measures. It also presents a set of descriptive statistics showing the extent of the problem of corporate victimization. It is shown that the second most common crime against businesses is any corruption-related crime, that is, any crime committed by a public official. Also, the high inter-annual variation in the crime incidence rate shows the need to develop more methodological discussions on this matter.
