What is Corruption?<\/h2>\n

Using power inappropriately for private gain is known as corruption. It can be political, petty, and grand depending upon the money taken or lost dues to it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grand Corruption includes crimes committed at a higher and larger level. It can also include distorting the policies and workings of government in any way. Petty corruption is the corruption that happens day to day or can also be called as everyday abuse of entrusted power. <\/span><\/p>\n

Political corruption is a manipulation of policies, institutions, and rules of procedure in the allocation of resources and financing by political decision-makers, who abuse their position to sustain their power, status, and wealth. See animated definitions of many corruption terms in our Anti-corruption Glossary.<\/span><\/p>\n
