Sommario/riassunto

This book questions whether the consequences associated with non-sex-based scandals carry greater penalties than sex-based political scandals in the twenty-first century. With analysis of over 50 political scandals, this book examines the impact those events have on the lives of political officials, their families, and public trust.
