Abstract

The objective of this research is to provide insights into eradication tactics rooted in the field of criminology. The present study constitutes normative legal research. The criminological examination of corruption encompasses an exploration of its criminal nature, as well as its juridical and sociological dimensions, along with the resulting ramifications. Corruption remains prevalent in contemporary society, encompassing both conventional and non-conventional forms. One such non-conventional manifestation is the “corruption of power,” particularly observed within public services, where individuals fail to fulfil their duties or responsibilities adequately. The classification of this unorthodox kind of corruption as a criminal offence has not yet been established. The increase in corruption offences can be attributed to two primary factors. Firstly, the advent of modernism has led to abrupt changes in societal dynamics, which can contribute to the rise in corrupt practices. Secondly, an unfair social structure exists where the aspirations and objectives of society (goals) are not adequately supported by the government’s legitimate means. Consequently, individuals are inclined to resort to illegitimate methods or strategies. To effectively address corruption, it is imperative to employ measures that involve exposing and penalising those responsible for engaging in corrupt practices. By publicly disclosing their actions and imposing financial consequences, the offenders are rendered powerless and experience a sense of disgrace. However, in such cases, the offender is also afforded the chance to reintegrate into society upon receiving a tangible indication of forgiveness from the community.
