CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

GET CHAPTER FROM NSIKAK—– TAKE NOT

Such as the policing of drugs and other illicit markets, that have the strongest link with or are closest to the invitational edge of corruption are also those which are generally subject to the least managerial scrutiny. Increasingly these areas are also associated with extraordinary large sums of money and therefore very high levels of (financial) temperature. Corruption control and prevention strategies enforces where corrupt practices have been rife a range of strategies have been implemented with the aim of reducing if not eliminating corruption. However, in many cases those forces have since again been thrown into crisis as corruption has re-emerged some period after the origin reforms. The central conclusion is that although it is unrealistic to think that corruption can be eliminated and that full-scale or organizational corruption can be prevented.

Interestingly, some key findings have emerged with regards to the nature and dynamics of police corruption showed an organized pattern of police corruption across societies. The review concludes with eleven keys messeges central to any understanding of corruption and which should underpin reforms introduced for its prevention:

  • Police corruption is pervasive, continuing and not bounded by rank.
  • Any definition of corruption should cover both financial and process corruption and should acknowledge the varying means, ends and motives of corrupt activities.
  • The boundary between corrupt and non corrupt activities is difficult of define primarily because this is at heart an ethical problem.
