Global Corruption Barometer 2007
This tool developed by Transparency International provides an assessment of the public perception of corruption in countries around the world.The barometer is based on a public opinion survey of over 63,000 people in 60 countries and offers a broad spectrum on common experiences of corruption.
It identifies the institutions where a bribe is demanded most often and in whom citizens see the greatest degree of corruption. It also measures public perception on future trends in corruption and their government's efforts to eradicate it.
Some key findings from the assessment include:
- About one in ten people around the world had to pay a bribe in the past year
- Bribery is particularly widespread in interactions with the police, the judiciary and registry and permit services
- The general public believes political parties, parliament, the police and the judicial/legal system are the most corrupt institutions in their societies
- Half of those interviewed, and significantly more than four years ago, expect corruption in their country to increase in the next three years
- Half of those interviewed think that their governments' efforts to fight corruption are ineffective
