In economy, corruption is payment for services, or materials which the recipient is not entitled to under the law. In government, it is when an elected representative makes decisions that are influenced by vested interest rather than legitimate or established government or party regulations.</p><p>&nbsp;In life there are political, moral and systemic corruption or abuse of power. Moral or political corruption involves the abuse of public power, office or resources by elected government officials for personal gains, by extortion, embezzlement, soliciting or offering bribes or other forms of inducement. Official corruption is a specific form of a misconduct designed to obtain undue benefits, personal gains or career advancements. Police Officer, for example, sometimes flout the police code of conduct in order to secure conviction of suspects through the use of falsified evidence.</p><p>Systemic corruption is the complete subversion of a political or economic system –which is primarily due to a weakness of an organization or process. It can be contrasted with individuals, officials or agents who act corruptly within the system. Lack of transparency, low pay, injustice, greediness, exploitation and poverty are the factors that encourage corruption.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Corruption poses a serious development challenge; it undermines democracy and good government by flouting or even subverting formal processes. Corruption in election and in legislative processes reduces accountability and distorts representation in policy making. Corruption in the judiciary compromises the rule of law and corruption in the public administration results in the inefficient provision of services. It violates basic principles of the country regarding the centrality of civic virtue. Corruption facilitates environmental destruction. There is also industrial corruption; this occurs when bribe is pride by a supplier to an industry or a manufacturer in order to sell low quality goods at the price of good quality products. Corruption is a harmful force that hinders government and represses individual in many countries throughout the world. It is generally a word used to qualify the existence of common social ills that affect the entire aspects of our society.</p><p>&nbsp;Victimization is the process of being victimized, becoming a victim or being unfairly punished. Victimization means making someone a group of people to suffer unfairly because you do not like them, their opinions or something that they have done. The trauma of victimization is a direct reaction to the aftermath of unfair punishment. Victims suffer tremendous amount of physical and psychological trauma. The physical injury suffered by victim may be as apparent as cuts, bruises or broken arms and legs. It is common for victims to be fatigued, unable to sleep or have increased or decreased appetite.Many victims believe that the stress caused by victimization endangers or exposes them to physical or psychological problems later in life.</p><p>In our society, people are victimized because of or for many reasons. In the ancient days and still in some places women are being victimized after their husbands’ death and when they are unable to give birth to children. Women are often socially and psychologically victimized in the absence of their husbands and children. Men who are impotent or childless suffer victimization by not allowing them to comfortably air their opinion in their fellowsocialmen’sgathering.</p><p>&nbsp;When one is denied of his rights and possessions and is maltreated for no justifiable reasons, he is being victimized. Such a person often tries to avoid society and especially the company of his victimizers or those opposed to his way of life.</p><p>&nbsp;STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM</p><p>&nbsp;Nations, Organizations, Institutions and individuals especially those mentioned in the novels understudy participate in or experience &nbsp;</p><p></p></div><h3></h3><br> <br><p></p>
