Corruption, commonly defined as the misuse of public office for private gains, is multifaceted, multidimensional, and ubiquitous. This edited collection, featuring contributions from leading scholars in the field of corruption, goes beyond the standard enforcement framework wherein individuals only compare the expected costs and benefits of a corrupt act. These chapters explore the political-cultural contexts, legal and regulatory process, and above all moral and psychological factors in attempts to understand and explain corruption. The book explores a broad canvas where gender, technology, culture, institutional structures influence attitudes towards corruption.
