Direct Effects of Corruption on Politics and the Economy Government corruption in Europe and countries has had many effects on the economy and political development. Political development refers to many different things, including the administrative and legal systems developed in a country as well as the government structure and processes (Nye, 1967)
these resources might include public investment (Voskanyan, 2000). In addition the infrastructure of countries that have politically and economically corrupt governments tend to be poorly structured (Tanzi & Davoodi, 1997)
It is considered one of the oldest problems facing human societies and governments since the dawn of time. Though it has been defined in many different ways, the most explicit definition of corruption describes it as "a general disease of body politics, public exploitation and abuse of public office for private gain" (Voskanyan, 2000:6)
At the same time, there is no end in sight of corruption in the United States. The most common in the past few decades is white collar crime and that encompassed a number of categories including "securities fraud, mail fraud, criminal tax fraud, obstruction of justice, money laundering, mortgage and health care fraud and more" (Gaul, 2010)
One group has offered that social welfare reform would be an effective deterrent to corruption. "Conditional cash transfer programs, an innovation in social welfare administration, have received considerable acclaim as a means of enhancing human capital and reducing leakage of public resources" (Grimes and Wangnerud, 2010), one extensive form of corruption in Mexico
Unfortunately, taking the opportunity to perceive the human being behind the fraud has done nothing to put a dent in corruption in the United States. According to another source "one in three American households are victims of white collar crimes but only 41% report it" (Johnston, 2002)
-Mexican border. "This strategy consists of a 36 lesson course developed in collaboration between Mexican and American teachers, whose intent is to build support for a culture of lawfulness and further the rule of law" (Kenney and Godson, 2002)
And Mexico? Resources abound on the topic of corruption in the United States. One source states there are varying degrees of corruption between the federal, state and local levels in America with state and local governments tending to be more crooked (Maxwell and Winters, 2003)
There is no lack of books and scholarly articles written on all aspects of the topic of white collar crime. In an attempt to understand the criminal behind the behavior one theory states that "white collar crime has its genesis in the process of differential association or by associating with those who consider this behavior favorable" (Sutherland, 1983)
Daily headlines from all sources of media blares warnings of a drug war that is out of control and literally thousands of innocent lives have been caught in the cross-fire. According to one source (Tuckman, 2010) "With more than 2,000 people killed since the new year, 2010 is shaping up to overtake the record 6,500 drug-related murders last year, which exceeded the toll of more than 5,000 in 2008
