Special Eurobarometer 374: Corruption

Description

Corruption is perceived by Europeans as a major problem and is thought to have increased in the last three years, according to the newest Eurobarometer survey. The nature and scope of corruption varies from one EU Member State to another. There is a widespread opinion that there are not enough successful prosecutions to deter bribery and that court sentences in corruption cases are too light. According to the data published -although perception of corruption is rather high -only a fraction of the respondents in the EU (8%) have been asked or expected to pay a bribe in the past year. This survey covers the general population’s perceptions of: - Extent of corruption in EU Member States - Levels of Government (national, regional, local and EU institutions) facing the biggest problem with corruption - Corruption as part of business culture - How corruption has changed in the past 3 years - Awareness of corruption related problems at national and EU level - Services / sectors of society perceived as facing the biggest corruption problems - Direct experiences with corruption - Causes of corruption - Strengths and weaknesses in the fight against corruption at national level - Links between corruption and organised crime - Who should fight corruption #####The results by volumes are distributed as follows: * Volume A: Countries * Volume AA: Groups of countries * Volume A' (AP): Trends * Volume AA' (AAP): Trends of groups of countries * Volume B: EU/socio-demographics * Volume B' (BP) : Trends of EU/ socio-demographics * Volume C: Country/socio-demographics ---- Researchers may also contact GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences: [https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer](https://www.gesis.org/eurobarometer)
