Corruption prevention is about intervening before the corrupt conduct occurs. To prevent corruption and other serious misconduct one needs to decide how and where are the best ways and places to intervene. This paper argues that research techniques provide tools for informing such decisions. The paper draws on actual examples of how social science research methods have been used within two Australian anti-corruption agencies to inform efforts to minimise future corruption. These examples are used to illustrate the following five observations:
1. Don’t rely on investigations to prevent corruption
2. Divide corruption into its specific forms
3. Consider your best information sources
4. Engage stakeholders about the recommendations
5. Monitor the implementation of the recommendations.
