Developing Countries: Public Education to Combat Corruption and Economic Crime — The Future for Developing Countries

Abstract

Many developing countries, and indeed a significant number of developed countries, need a practical strategy to launch future education and prevention programmes. This article offers constructive advice on how to educate the public and gain support to combat the abuses of government officials and private individuals. Corruption prevention services involve the study of systems and procedures to reduce opportunities to commit corruption and economic crime offences. A detailed review of these services is not included in this article but public education involves making these services widely known throughout the public and private sectors.
