urban geography, particularly the theme of how intersections between race, class, gender, and power entrench corruption in American society. One research question that can be elucidated through a deeper analysis of Chapter 2 in Hedges and Sacco's Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt would be how the people can reclaim their cities from the wanton destruction, alienation, and exploitation symbolized by the likes of King George.
King George and his cronies in Trenton -- and even in Washington -- have been grafting money designated for Camden's urban development and economic recovery. By taking what Hedges and Sacco claim is more than 95% of federal and… Continue Reading...

can infer that there is some form of corruption or some sort of societal ill or imbalance, motivating this trend. The reality is that jails were originally created to be part of a tool in curbing crime. One would think, based on this logic that if jails were effective at reducing crime, there’d be fewer criminals. However, “recent studies show that even short stays in jail can spur a significant increase in a person’s likelihood to reoffend, while longer detentions correlate with even greater odds of recidivism” (Rizer & Haggerty, 2017). Part of this is in connection with how flawed… Continue Reading...
corruption are concerned. Corruption has been at the heart of the Brazilian government for years, for example, and has led to the Left’s Lula being barred and a populist winning the election this year, which has caused some commentators to view it as a Trump-like victory in Brazil. Venezuela’s infrastructure has crumbled and hyperinflation has decimated the country as a result of corruption. As Augustine would say, sin is misplaced love—and the sins of the Latin American Left have been to place all their love in the things of man… Continue Reading...

While entrepreneurism is high in Vietnam, bureaucracy is also high. Corruption is a major issue, and Vietnam ranks 112th out of 168 countries on the corruption perceptions index (Transparency International, 2016). The government has, however, made significant investments in its education system in recent years, leading to decent scores on international evaluations (The Economist, 2013), though there remains concern about the high dropout rate. This investment in education provides a decent baseline level of knowledge, which makes Vietnamese students who enter EMBA programs in their 20s and 30s better-equipped to succeed, having already established literacy and numeracy.

the end of the 19th century had pledged to combat fraud and corruption and crack down on this type of abuse of the elections process—which is why Lawless’ crime was significant. Roosevelt had moved on from the Police Board in New York—to the White House. The man who spoke softly and carried a big state—the man who had sought to clean up NYC—was now at top of the world in Washington, D.C.—and under his watch, crime was not going to pay. Nonetheless, Tammany Hall would keep trying its tricks: its “rough-and-tumble style of politics that, when eventually adopted citywide, would make the… Continue Reading...

This book provides an overview of the changing shape of American electoral fraud.

Q1. Discuss whether the police “code of secrecy” can ever be overcome so that acts of misconduct and corruption can be revealed and properly investigated.
The so-called “blue wall of silence,” or the unspoken code of conduct that a police officer never informs on one of his brother and sister officers, is a product of an institutional culture that emphasizes interpersonal loyalty, sometimes at the expense of official police policy or even the law. The code is a product of the close, personal relationship officers have with one another on a day-to-day basis. Officers are also frequently in contact with violent and unsympathetic offenders. This can add the… Continue Reading...

perpetuation of corruption in organizations. Academy of Management Executive, 19(4): 9-23.
This study shows how otherwise normal, functioning, law-abiding citizens can commit crimes such as abuse by using rationalization tactics to justify their criminal behaviors. By engaging in rationalization tactics, persons can remove any sense of guilt or regret from their minds and consciences. It is a rationalization of corruption that, in the case of elder abuse, can become a two-way street as the victims may rationalize or justify the behavior of the perpetrator, especially if the perpetrator is a loved-one such… Continue Reading...

corruption that accompanies the family business. The first film ends with Michael assuming the role of Don following his father’s death as well as a series of neatly constructed murders that cement the power of the Corleone family.
The second film is both a sequel and a prequel, telling the next stage of life for Michael as he leads the business out West while also telling the story of Vito’s through flashbacks. The two narratives are intertwined to accentuate themes of family, power, corruption, codes of honor, and respect are… Continue Reading...
certainly be concerned about the payments, which essentially constitute bribery and corruption under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (United States Department of Justice, 2018). I would be worried about any legal ramifications, which would damage the reputation of our firm. Also, our firm is committed to ethics and needs to retain the confidence of its stakeholders and shareholders.

There are many ethical approaches to corruption, and the one that underlies legislation prohibiting payments to… Continue Reading...

Regarding the second ethical dilemma, organizations continue to grapple with issues like fraud and corruption, which are ultimately individual behaviors. However, company culture and even organizational policies may be designed to enable unethical behavior or at least to facilitate thee tendency to abnegate personal responsibility and accountability. The conflict between personal ethics and organizational behavior is borne out in the research by Cojuhuarenco, Shteynberg, Gelfland, et al. (2012). Cojuhuarenco, Shteynberg, Gelfland, et al. (2012) also show how gender and self concept impact ethical decision making as much as the normative ethical culture in the organization. An abundance of research reveals the detrimental effects of… Continue Reading...

Reasons for Payment of College Athletes
As Hartnett (2014) notes, being a college athlete is more than a full-time job.
