Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Sociology - Law, Delinquency, Abnormal Behavior, grade: -, University of Portsmouth, language: English, abstract: Corruption can be identified as the misuse of power for personal gain.

The phrase, "power corrupts, but it is power that attracts the corruptible" will be critically assessed in the following essay with reference to police, specifically the European Police Office (Europol), as an example of a public sector organisation with the potential for corruption.
