Abstract
The doctrine of identification is often used to explain how corporations can commit criminal offences in their own right. Courts identify the natural persons who can be said to personify the corporation, and attribute their conduct and mental states to the corporation. However, current versions of the doctrine of identification suffer from several well-documented shortcomings. This paper sets out, and gives serious consideration to, a reformulated version of the identification doctrine that has the potential to addresses many of these shortcomings.
