In broad terms, political corruption is the misuse
of public (governmental) power for illegitimate,
usually secret, private advantage. All forms of
government are susceptible to political corruption.
Forms of corruption vary, but the most common are
patronage, bribery, extortion, influence peddling,
fraud, embezzlement, and nepotism. While
corruption often facilitates criminal enterprise such
as drug trafficking, money laundering, and criminal
prostitution, it is not restricted to these organized
crime activities, and it does not always support or
shield other crimes.
What constitutes corruption differs depending on
the country or jurisdiction. Certain political funding
practices that are legal in one place may be illegal in
another. In some countries, police and prosecutors
have broad discretion over who to arrest and
charge, and the line between discretion and
corruption can be difficult to draw, as in racial
profiling. In countries with strong interest group
politics, practices that could easily constitute
corruption elsewhere are sometimes sanctified as
official group preferences.
“Racial profiling” is underlined in the text as a kind
of practice:
impossible to fight.
resultant from arrest.
difficult to categorize.
easy to identify.
seen as corruption.
