Chapter Chapter 50 in The Ethics of Bribery, Vol 2, 2025, pp 659-661 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It is a basic principle of criminal law that the punishment should fit the crime. Imposing a punishment that is too severe would be unfair, while imposing a punishment that is too lenient would not deter future crime. The present study aims to determine the relative seriousness of bribery compared to other offenses in Bosnia & Herzegovina using World Values Survey data. This chapter is one of more than 90 case studies that examine the relative seriousness of bribery in more than 90 countries.
