Anticorruption agencies are usually created when corruption has spread so
widely and the police are so corrupt that offences of bribery are no longer
investigated or prosecuted. In a desperate attempt to stop the rot the
government establishes the anticorruption agency, half believing that the
problem will then disappear. New laws, new corruption offences, more
severe penalties, a new agency but still the problem gets worse. Many of
these agencies fail dismally to have any impact. Very few can be said to
have succeeded at all. Why?
