- Summary
- We present key results of the EU ICS and ICVS 2005 concerning victimisation by bribe- seeking from public officials. Next we present findings of secondary analyses of the ICVS- based measure of corruption. The results show that country rates for corruption are only weakly related to victimisation by ordinary crime. They also show that the ICVS rates of actual experiences with bribe- seeking are moderately strongly related to perception- based corruption measures such as the Corruption Perception Index of Transparency International and the Control of Corruption Index of the World Bank Institute. We have reviewed previous criminometric analyses of the impact of corruption on the execution of global policies against human trafficking. In this context we have replicated previous analyses using different quantitative measures of both corruption and anti-trafficking policies.
