Corruption in all its moral, financial and functional forms constitutes a dilemma that troubles

societies at the security, social and economic levels because most societies, regardless of

their degree of progress are negatively affected by it. Corruption is contrary to the values and

ethics of civilized societies and to all divine laws, because the related crimes are the most

dangerous to individuals and institutions in any country. The public office corruption crimes

are particularly dangerous because they cause loss of the individuals’ confidence in their

administrative and governmental apparatus. In addition to being an obstacle to implementing

economic reform policies, administrative corruption usually leads to breach of the balance of

justice and equal opportunities and an increase in disagreement among the society segments.

The term corruption does not mean a specific crime in the legal sense, but its description

covers what has been termed as corruption crimes.
