Corruption is “the abuse of entrusted power for private gain”. It can be classified as grand, petty and political. Grand corruption occurs at a high level of government, through acts that distort policies or the central functioning of the state. These acts enable state leaders to benefit at the expense of the public good. Petty corruption refers to everyday abuse of entrusted power by low- and mid-level public officials in their interactions with ordinary citizens, who are trying to access basic goods or services in places like hospitals, schools, police departments and other agencies. Political corruption occurs when political decision makers manipulate policies, institutions and rules relating to the allocation of resources and financing, thus abusing their position to sustain their power, status and wealth.

Bribery is a main form of corruption. Simply put, bribery is the gift given to influence the recipient's behavior. The Black's Law Dictionary defines bribery as “the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal duty.”

Bribery is a two-way transaction that comes in many forms. It requires both a bribe-payer and a bribe-taker. That is why so much emphasis is placed on stopping people and companies paying bribes, even if they relate to small amounts. The problems arising from bribery are vast and the repercussions are widespread. If the supply-side of bribery is cut, then we may have a solution to the problem of corruption.

Bribery exists throughout the world. It is unethical, illegal and by definition corrupt, meaning it is an abuse of power for personal gain.
