Just Culture and the Criminalisation of Air Accidents equips the reader with the tools to understand the meaning of criminalisation in the civil aviation industry. It enables them to resolve problems that arise in risk management within the context of their professional employment.

By examining the priorities of pilots, air traffic controllers, and prosecutors, this book analyses the anatomy of criminalisation in civil aviation and works towards constructing solutions that protect the professionals’ human rights and the Just Culture concept within the framework of criminal law and practice. It covers the duty of an air traffic controller to take the standard of care to guard against acts or omissions which might cause loss and give rise to a claim in negligence. The book illustrates the critical features discussed with numerous case studies from States and jurisdictions around the world.

The book will benefit airline operators, pilots, air traffic controllers or managers, and aviation business managers.
