Corruption in Rich Countries

• In Event: White-Collar Crime at 75: Risk Assessment Models and their Validity in Combating Money Laundering and Corruption

Abstract

Corruption remains one of the hot button factors in economic and social development. It costs billions in human capital and plummets public confidence in government action. At worst, it robs the poor of justice, opportunity and equality. Because of its multi-dimensional nature, the way we classify corruption influences how it can be prevented. Employing an empirical approach and greater academic rigor, can help to overcome this scourge.
