Sommario/riassunto

Policing as an occupation is rife with opportunities for corruption. This book provides a systematic analysis of the subject, while also addressing the question of what can be done to ensure successful corruption control. It argues that the mechanisms for control suffer from severe shortcomings that substantially limit their effectiveness.
