Global Efforts: Battling against the Chain of Corruption

Nick Kochan and Robin Goodyear

Chapter 11 in Corruption, 2011, pp 211-218 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The battle against corruption starts with the institutional failures that enable that corruption to take root. It proceeds to the financial system which allows those who have corrupt money to launder it. It moves to the corporate sector which is alert to its dangers and wants no part of them. It ends with the police agencies who discover or are tipped off about an incident and investigate it. The all-encompassing nature of this virus means that a host of agencies are involved in the prevention, detection, and prosecution of crimes of corruption. Efforts to contest corruption and fraud take place across borders, and involve a wide range of agencies. Cooperation and information sharing are the names of this particular game, without which the chances of successfully repressing these crimes are hamstrung.
