I do think that the people of a area should have a right to decide what goes in their area, lets look at something dangerous like Fracking, shouldn't people in the city effected by flammable water get to say if said company puts up shop?
If jail is a prescribed penalty, individual members which make up a corporation should receive jail sentences in proportion to their percentage of investment in the corporation.
Hi,
I think it should be the directors that should take the rap, as they are the decision makers.
* I am a surveyor who has a company. I am the sole director and permanent employee. It just so happens that this is the best structure for a family business allowing family shareholders etc. Corporations are a great tool for any business. It just so happens that like any structure folk can abuse this.

In every jurisdiction I am aware of corporations can be convicted of criminal offenses. However, instead of time they are usually given large fines (sometimes linked $X per year, sometimes purely on discretion). In some jurisdictions these fines are literally unlimited (they are at a judge's sole discretion).
