We have laws to protect us from the actions of 'bad' people. But why might writing laws for 'bad' people actually be a bad idea? That's what my guest, Professor Yuval Feldman, asks in his research and helps me explore on this inaugural episode of the podcast.
Might we be better off writing laws for 'good' people, or those who think of themselves as good people? Yes, says Feldman. As he explains “In many many contexts, people do not know that what they do is illegal or immoral, at least not in an objective way” . What works for law, can also work for Compliance.
If you think the law is boring, think again.
