Social and legal dimensions of corruption

Abstract

The phenomenon of corruption is a multi-dimensional phenomenon and the anti-corruption strategy must be fully aware of these dimensions. Legislative policies stemming from public policy aim to prevent the supposed dangers resulting from corrupt behavior resulting from criminal or even social danger that indicates the commission of corruption crimes. The international community has become increasingly interested in anti-corruption mechanisms to prevent the dangers resulting at the local and international levels, by adopting a set of mechanisms included in international criminal models. With the recognition of international instruments that any legislative attempt to undermine corruption will be ineffective unless it stems from the specificity of the local environment, it is necessary to enact preventive measures that are consistent with the established moral values ​​in society, because each society has circumstances that need to be carefully studied because of the changes that accompany political transformations and fluctuations in economic and social conditions that are necessarily reflected in the societal culture, and thus the new values ​​play a major role in rejecting or accepting corrupt behavior.
