Institutional Anomie Theory and Country-Level Public Corruption
Justice Quarterly

Douglas Weiss (criminal justice) published an article about national-level corruption. From the abstract: “Using twenty years of data from 83 countries, this study finds institutional imbalance toward the economy is associated with higher levels of corruption. The lowest levels of corruption are found in highly individualistic countries, though institutional imbalance had a strong positive effect on corruption in such countries. Conversely, corruption is high in collectivistic countries regardless of institutional imbalance.”
