Global Corruption Report 2007   Inchide

The Global Corruption Report 2007 looks at how, why andcorruption mars judicial processes, and to reflect on remedies for corruption-tainted systems. The book focuses on judges and courts but situates them within the broader justice system - police, prosecutors, lawyers and agencies responsible for enforcing judicial decisions. It also looks at the social context of the judiciary and shows how societal expectations, the existence of non-state justice mechanisms and the strength of informal networks that circumvent the justice system, all have a bearing on judicial corruption. The book takes a close look at the two main judicial corruption problems: political interference and petty bribery by court personnel. The 37 country case studies and a series of concrete recommendations for judges, political powers, businesses, lawyers, prosecutors, academics, NGOs and donors are supplemented by 15 empirical studies of corruption in various sectors, including the justice sector.



• Comprehensive reports on the judicial systems of 37 key countries allow the reader to assess in details the state of corruption in each • Features practical guidelines to identify weaknesses in judicial systems and offers effective strategies for taking action • Includes summaries of the latest empirical research on corruption related issues.
