Abstract
This century has witnessed the increasing use of federal statutes to impose criminal liability on corporate officers as a means of regulating corporate conduct that could result in harm to public health, safety and welfare.2 Some of these statutes require no scienter or mens rea element, thereby subjecting corporate officials to strict liability for actions or omissions in which they had a legally defined responsible share3 yet no direct participation or knowledge.4
