dc.description.abstract	What is corruption? A public official is corrupt if he accepts money or money's worth for doing something that is his duty anyway, that is not his duty, or to exercise a legitimate discretion for improper reasons.We must distinguish between public and private corruption. Public corruption entails using the state machinery for personal gains. The legally established norms are thus violated. Private corruption occurs when, for example, "X " has an 'affair' with his brother's wife. His actions may not immediately affect the state and he need not use state machinery in order to indulge in sexual corruption. However, if he is discovered and is either beaten or taken to court, what was a personal sexual adventure now turns into a public scandal and the established laws of the state are used to punish him. If "X" is not punished, people may take the law into their own hands and the sobriety of the state may be impaired.	en_US
