Anti-corruption agencies in Africa: a comparative analysis of Rwanda, Sierra Leone and MalawiGashumba, Jeanne Pauline January 2010 (has links)
<p>Corruption is a serious problem which has many negative impacts on sustainable economic development globally. The clandestine nature of corruption makes it difficult to detect. Hence, efforts to combat corruption successfully demand comprehensive anti-corruption legislation, strong powers, as well as special investigative techniques and strategies. An effective anti-corruption regime requires a comprehensive anti-corruption legal framework which not only punishes all forms of corruption but also capacitates anti-corruption institutions. A strong anti-corruption agency is a  / crucial requirement and a necessary part of a country&rsquo / s anti-corruption strategy. The failure or the success of an anti-corruption agency depends on a variety of factors, such as powers and means to detect, investigate and prosecute corruption and related offences. The lack of trained staff, as well as the lack of adequate material resources, also affects the effectiveness of an anti-corruption agency. The anti-corruption agencies covered by this research are not empowered or resourced sufficiently, which may result in their ineffectiveness. This paper provides a set of recommendations in respect of the powers and strategies needed for a successful anti-corruption agency.</p>

Magister Legum - LLM / Corruption is a serious problem which has many negative impacts on sustainable economic development globally. The clandestine nature of corruption makes it difficult to detect.

A criminological perspective on corruption in the public sectorGrobler, Elizabeth 30 November 2002 (has links)
Corruption from a criminological perspective forms the basis of this dissertation. The crime component
of corruption the 'what', 'why' and 'how' is the dominant theme throughout the study and includes
corruption in the South African public sector, highlighting police corruption in the Western Cape.
Although this study is exploratory, certain qualitative interviewing techniques, including an interview
guide, were used to maximise the information obtained from knowledgeable interviewees. Corruption
was further elucidated by the employment of criminological theories to explain pertinent findings in the
research, by highlighting risk factors that lead to corruption, by giving examples of corruption and by
discussing anti-corruption agencies and the effectiveness of existing legislation.
Corruption in the public sector has always been around and will be ad infinitum. The severity of the
consequences of this phenomenon can be curtailed by the will of politicians, the involvement of civil
society and an operational criminal justice system. / Criminology / MA (Criminology)
