Abstract: The French Anti-Corruption Agency (AFA) and the Research Centre of the National Superior Police Academy (CRENSP) decided to launch a call for tender in the spring of 2022 for an analysis of the available data from the national police regarding breaches of integrity. This need is part of the "National Multiannual Anti-Corruption Plan" established by the AFA for the period 2020-2022. The first objective of the plan is to "better understand and detect corruption" through statistical analysis, and then to disseminate this knowledge to relevant stakeholders, public decision-makers, and citizens. This report aims to meet this objective of knowledge production by mobilising various data sources, not limited to police data alone, and by adopting an expanded definition of corruption, namely, breaches of integrity. Although this is a research work, the report also seeks to be useful and relevant in operational terms and for public policy. It offers numerous analyses attempting to capture the diversity of corrupt practices and highlights some weaknesses in the current public policy for combating breaches of integrity in France. It also presents forward-looking elements and recommendations to better guide public action, whether preventive or repressive. In this regard, it should be noted that the work was carried out with a high degree of autonomy. Finally, this research was completed in a very short period (six months), so it does not fully exhaust the potential offered by the richness of the available data. Further research collaborations could allow for deeper quantitative and qualitative analysis of the phenomenon.
