EXECUTIVE SUMMARY his report contains results of the corruption risks research in the four basic court Tproceedings and in the activities of criminal investigation bodies: criminal process (pre-trial investigation and trial), civil process, economic process and administrative process. With the aim of securing quality and objectiveness of the research the concept of the research was developed. The concept contained: definition of corruption and its main manifestations, a theoretical model of corruption behavior (subjects, conditions, corruption benefits, beneficiaries etc.), determinations and typology of corruption risks. The empirical research was conducted in three stages: (1) Preparatory which included focus groups and in-depth interviews, results of which were used for preparation of the concept and instruments for the research; (2) Basic research with the accent on reception of information about the real situations, in which respondents face corruption in courts and law enforcement agencies which included all-Ukraine representative survey among public representatives by method of face-to-face interview and interviews with target groups (experts – respondents, who have proper level of legal education and practical experience in corresponding proceedings in law enforcement agencies and courts); (3) Quality research based on the results of basic surveys/interviews which included focus groups and in-depth interviews with experts (defence attorneys, judges, practicing lawyers, entrepreneurs, human rights defenders, academics, citizens with experience of being a party to criminal, civil, economic and administrative proceedings). Sociological part of the research was conducted by consulting company MAConsulting in February – April 2009. Analytical part of the research was conducted by Kharkiv city non-governmental organization “Institute of Applied Humanitarian Research”. The research is conducted in the framework of the anticorruption project UPAC implemented by the Council of Europe and financed to the most part by the European Union (Support to Good Governance: Project Against Corruption in Ukraine). Taking into account results of the sociological research the main corruption risk in the situations of contacts by representatives of public with judicial and law enforcement agencies is “disposition” to corruption behavior: 1) Orienting of representatives of public to the application of corruption models of behavior; 2) Corruption demands from the side of related officials; 3) Activity of middleman who participate in solving of certain issues and orientate for corruption behavior. 5 CORRUPTION RISKS IN CRIMINAL PROCESS AND JUDICIARY The main conclusions regarding corruption risks which take place in all kinds of court proceedings are the following: 1) A condition of legislation (both procedural and material) doesn’t belong to determinative factors for forming corruption risks, but there are some provisions which produce corruption; 2) Existence of a complicated web of informal connections of judges (inside of the judicial system, in certain courts, informal relations with lawyers, social and personal relations of judges) is one of the main corruption risks, because neither ethic nor legal mechanisms of prevention of conflict of interests work; 3) A system of administrative relations in the courts contains some corruption risks in the part of producing conditions for different forms of judges’ dependence upon managers of the courts; 4) It makes sense to add to the factors producing corruption the way in which the courts functioning is organized (document flow, case assignment etc.); 5) It’s necessary to note that only insignificant part of the respondents connected appearance and development of corruption practices in judicial proceedings with low salaries of judges. The main conclusions regarding corruption risks in criminal proceedings at the stage of pre-trail investigation are the following: 1) The main factor causing flourishing of corruption in activities of

  • The Evolution of Corruption: from "Honest Graft" to Conflicts of Interest
    T ONE The Evolution of Corruption: From "Honest Graft" to Conflicts of Interest Supposin' it's a new bridge they're going to build. I get tipped off and I buy as much property as I can that has to be taken for the approaches. I sell at my own price later on and drop some more money in the bank. Wouldn't you? It's just like lookin' ahead in Wall Street or in the coffee or cotton market It's honest graft and I'm lookin' for it every day of the year. George Washington Plunkitt, as quoted in William L. Riordon, Plunkitt ofTammany Hall To understand the evolution of the anticorruption project, it is necessary to begin with some observations about corruption itself. This chapter deals with four basic issues: the subjectivity of the definition of corruption, the increasing gap between expectations of official behavior and actual behav­ ior, the special politics of scandal and reform, and the difficulty of measur­ ing corruption. Defining Corruption Corruption is neither a single form of behavior nor an obvious species of conduct. 1 Corruption is the name we apply to some reciprocities by some people in some contexts at some times. The popular use of the term does not require that the conduct labeled corrupt be illegal; it is enough that the la­ beler thinks it is immoral or unethicaL Since people's views about moral and ethical conduct differ in important respects, corruption is often a contested ~. labeL Indeed, these days public servants are admonished not only to adhere to the skein of laws prohibiting a wide variety of conduct, but to avoid "the appearance of corruption." Such a warning recognizes that the term corrup­ tion refers to more than just positive law, but fails to recognize that appear­ ance of corruption is in the eyes of the beholder.

  • The Anatomy of Official Corruption
    VIII Congreso Internacional del CLAD sobre la Reforma del Estado y de la Administración Pública, Panamá, 28-31 Oct. 2003 The burden on our backs; corruption in Latin America Gerald E. Caiden University of Southern California Corruption has now become a popular subject in international circles. Not that it is new. Far from that, corruption has been with us since the dawn of government. But finally the world has decided that it has become too dysfunctional for global development for it to go unchallenged. Indeed, it has become so menacing that something has to be done about it. But are we taking about the same thing? Despite different words for it, there are common definitions and what is more there seems to be a remarkable degree of agreement in time and place. Ever since written records have survived, the same kinds of objectionable behavior have been identified, irrespective of language, religion, culture, ethnicity, governance, location, philosophy and social values. These have always been considered unworthy of individuals exercising power over others, epitomized in Lord Acton’s dictum that “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.” They have disappointed those over whom they have exercised their power. The Essence of Corruption The starting point in determining what constitutes corrupt practice is with the act itself, that specific form of behavior that is considered wrong and offensive. Those behaving in such a way must know that what they were doing was morally wrong, clearly out of line and unacceptable. They knowingly stole. They perjured themselves. They bribed or accepted bribes or passed on bribes or recorded bribes or disguised bribes.

  • The Disappearance of Corruption and the New Path Forward in Campaign Finance
    MAZO 1.24.15 - MAZO FINAL VERSION (DO NOT DELETE) 1/25/2015 2:01 AM THE DISAPPEARANCE OF CORRUPTION AND THE NEW PATH FORWARD IN CAMPAIGN FINANCE EUGENE D. MAZO Reformers cloak their plans for changing the campaign finance system in the language of corruption because of the Supreme Court. In Buckley v. Valeo, the 1976 case that put corruption at the center of campaign finance law, the Supreme Court held that the only acceptable justifications that could be used to impose limits on campaign contributions were the government’s interests in preventing “corruption and the appearance of corruption.” All other justifications would result in laws being struck down for violating the freedoms of the First Amendment. This article argues that the Court’s “corruption paradigm” has outlived its usefulness, however. It has been inconsistently applied, and it has led to more confusion than clarity. Because new legislation regulating campaign finance is likely to be struck down by the Court, Congress no longer has the stomach to regulate in this important area of the law. For this reason, the champions of campaign finance need to find a new path forward. One such path, proposed in this article, is to let Congress regulate campaign finance through its internal ethics rules. Copyright © 2014, Eugene D. Mazo.

  • The Price of Corruption Usha R
    The Price of Corruption Usha R. Rodrigues According to the Supreme Court, politicians can’t be bought for less than $5200, the maximum campaign contribution an individual can give a single legislator. Consequently the Court struck down aggregate contribution limits on the theory that confining individual donations to that base limit provides an adequate safeguard against corruption. But the Court was wrong. Coupling data from actual campaign contributions from the last election cycle with social science research, this Article demonstrates that corruption likely occurs below the base limit threshold. In one case, a CEO made a first-time $1000 donation to a member of Congress. The next day that representative introduced a securities bill tailored to the interests of that CEO’s firm. The fact that the price of corruption is lower than commonly understood has fundamental repercussions for the Court’s current protection of money as speech. M.E.

  • The Appearance and the Reality of Quid Pro Quo Corruption: an Empirical Investigation
    THE APPEARANCE AND THE REALITY OF QUID PRO QUO CORRUPTION: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION Christopher Robertson*, D. Alex Winkelman**, Kelly Bergstrand** and Darren Modzelewski** ABSTRACT The Supreme Court says that campaign finance regulations are unconstitutional unless they target “quid pro quo” corruption or its appearance. To test those appearances, we fielded two studies. First, in a highly realistic simulation, three grand juries deliberated on charges that a campaign spender bribed a Congressperson. Second, 1271 representative online respondents considered whether to convict, with five variables manipulated ran- domly. In both studies, jurors found quid pro quo corruption for behaviors they believed to be common. This research suggests that Supreme Court decisions were wrongly decided, and that Congress and the states have greater authority to regulate campaign finance. Prosecutions for bribery raise serious problems for the First Amendment, due process, and separation of powers. Safe harbors may be a solution. * Associate Dean for Research and Innovation, Professor of Law, James E.

  • Deregulating Corruption
    Deregulating Corruption Ciara Torres-Spelliscy* The Roberts Supreme Court has, or to be more precise the five most conservative members of the Roberts Court have, spent the last twelve years branding and rebranding the meaning of the word “corruption” both in campaign finance cases and in certain white- collar criminal cases. Not only are the Roberts Court conservatives doing this over the strenuous objections of their more liberal colleagues, they are also breaking with the Rehn- quist Court’s more expansive definition of corruption. The actions of the Roberts Court in defining corruption to mean less and less have been a welcome development among dishon- est politicians. In criminal prosecutions, politicians convicted of honest services fraud and other crimes are all too eager to argue to courts that their convictions should be overturned in light of the Supreme Court’s lax definition of corruption. In some cases, jury convictions have been set aside for politicians who cite the Supreme Court’s latest campaign finance and white-collar crime cases, especially Citizens United v. FEC and McDonnell v. United States. This Article explores what the Supreme Court has done to rebrand corrup- tion, as well as how this impacts the criminal prosecutions of corrupt elected officials. This Article is the basis of a chapter of Professor Torres-Spelliscy’s second book, Political Brands, which will be published by Edward Elgar Publishing in late 2019.

Dies geschieht unter starker Be- teiligung der jungen Generation und nicht ohne innere und äußere Spannun- gen. Der kriegerische Konfl ikt im Osten des Landes ist derzeit weitgehend aus unseren Schlagzeilen verschwunden, hält aber noch immer an. Bis heute gibt es allein ca. 1,5 Millionen Binnenfl üchtlinge im Land. Um einen persönlichen Eindruck von der Situation des Landes gewinnen zu können, sind wir im Oktober 2016 gemeinsam mit Multiplikatorinnen und Multiplikatoren der katholischen Jugendarbeit, Jugendsozialarbeit und Jugend- pastoral in die Ukraine gereist. Ziel war es, mit jungen Ukrainerinnen und Ukrainern ins Gespräch zu kommen und den Dialog zwischen Verantwortlichen der Jugendarbeit beider Länder zu stärken. Insgesamt acht Tage haben wir in der Ukraine verbracht und sind dabei von Lviv über Ivano-Frankivsk nach Kiew gereist. Im Laufe des Besuches haben wir zahlreiche jugendpolitische, pastorale und sozialcaritative Projekte der kirchli- chen Jugendarbeit besucht, Initiativen im Bereich jugendlicher Binnenfl üchtlin- ge, Jugendarbeitslosigkeit, Arbeitsmigration, zivilgesellschaftliches Engage- ment kennengelernt und Gespräche zur heutigen politischen, sozialen und kirchlichen Situation des Landes geführt. Heute, fast ein Jahr später, sind zahlreiche Eindrücke und Erinnerungen geblie- ben.
