Title | Corruption in Italy: an attempt to identify the victims |
Authors | Ruggiero, V. |
Abstract | Criminological analysis of corruption is rare, perhaps because this type of offending is regarded as a victimless behaviour. The author analyses political corruption in Italy with a view to identifying the social damage caused by it. Aspects of victimisation are mainly found within the domain of civil and political rights. The author examines the erosion of these rights in the light of controversial definitions of democracy. Corruption and aspects of victimisation that corrupt exchange brings in its course are traced on the boundaries separating two different interpretations of democracy, that is, on the border between democracy and despotism. |
