Violation Tracker Penalties Total
About the data
Data from this metric comes from the Violation Tracker provided by Good Jobs First.
Violation Tracker is the first US-based national search engine on corporate misconduct. Version 2.0 covers banking, consumer protection, false claims, environmental, health, safety, price-fixing and bribery cases initiated by 30 federal regulatory agencies and the Justice Department since 2010; in all, 112,000 cases with total penalties of $300 billion. Violation Tracker is produced by the Corporate Research Project of Good Jobs First.
Presently only the penalty totals across all agencies are available on WikiRate, but the Violation Tracker presents a detailed breakdown of these penalties - if you would like more detail this is well worth checking out directly.
