Join us for an engaging in-person discussion with sociologist and Fulbright US Scholar David Jancsics, as he presents his latest book, Sociology of Corruption: Patterns of Illegal Association in Hungary, published by Cornell University Press.
David will share his innovative approach to understanding corruption, focusing on social status, networks and power dynamics rather than individual morality.
Key questions will be explored:
This article by Claudia Baez Camargo offers valuable insights into how behavioural science can inform more effective anti-corruption strategies and crime prevention efforts. By shedding light on key behavioural drivers and practical approaches, the piece provides a strong foundation for those seeking to better understand how human behaviour can be positively influenced to promote integrity and reduce crime.
As corruption becomes more sophisticated, anti-corruption training must keep pace. In a recent webinar, experts from the Basel Institute shared insights on how technology has strengthened training efforts for law enforcement practitioners worldwide. They also explored exciting new applications of artificial intelligence (AI) to further enhance training and learning experiences.
A new peer-reviewed journal article looks into how corruption undermines democracies, with a specific focus on a context of weak governance.
Corruption affects communities worldwide. It undermines civil, political and economic rights, erodes trust in institutions and impedes economic progress. A new Policy Brief by the FALCON (Fight Against Large-scale Corruption and Organised Crime Networks) project unveils new insights in the fight against high-level corruption.
There could hardly be a more critical time for policymakers in the European Union to understand how corruption really intersects with organised crime and impacts citizens’ security, prosperity and trust in institutions.
And just as importantly, how to leverage data and advanced tools to fight corrupt networks effectively.
Corruption and financial crime undermine societies, from stalling economic growth to eroding public trust. Understanding their dynamics and how to fight them effectively is vital for professionals from any sector and corner of the world.
This certificate programme with the University of Basel is designed to boost the knowledge, skills and careers of professionals who care about countering corruption.
