Moran J 2001. Democratic transitions and forms of corruption. Crime, law and social change, 36(4): 379–393
This paper takes a contextual and procedural approach to the analysis of democratisation and corruption.
It disaggregates some variables whereby democratisation can provide the context for the development of
corruption and crime. This paper does not argue democratisation causes corruption and crime, nor does
it argue democratisation does not provide the social space for the reduction of corruption and crime. This
paper concentrates on the areas in which democratisation provides an often complex environment for the
development of corruption and crime.

considers the way in which the Service is perceived by the public. It examines the nature and causes of
corruption within the Service and then discusses the anti-corruption campaigns of the 1970s, 1980s and

Pitts M 2001. Crime and corruption: does Papua New Guinea have the capacity to control it? Pacific
economic bulletin 16(2): 127–134 [accessed 12 June]. http://peb.anu.edu.au/pdf/PEB16-2pitts.pdf
This paper argues that crime and corruption in Papua New Guinea are rampant and linked through
networks of ethnicity and other allegiances. It notes that state crime control strategies are often politically
influenced or prompted by fear of negative sanctions by allegiances or tied to international agencies’
policy. Finally, it notes that community capacity in relation to crime control is also influenced by aid agency
input, state capacity and the economic and social impact of corrupt practice.
