Crime and Corruption

Anti-Corruption Gateway for Europe and Eurasia The Gateway serves as "an easily accessible repository of anti-corruption project documentation, legislation, regional and international agreements, news, survey results, reports, and research.  By sharing this information widely, it is hoped that new and productive initiatives will be generated to reduce corruption in these regions."
Corruption in Formerly-Communist Societies Michael Johnston of the Colgate University department of political science has compiled this "working bibliography of library and web resources" with the assistance and support of the Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiative of the Open Society Institute, Budapest, Hungary. It is intended for "researchers, journalists, students, and all others concerned with corruption and development in the former Communist world." First compiled in 1999, it was last revised in April 2001.
Corruption Watch is a monthly e-mail bulletin which reports on corruption issues in Ukraine.
Transnational Crime and Corruption Center The Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC) is "the first center in the United States devoted to teaching, research, training and formulating policy advice in transnational crime, corruption and terrorism." Founded in 1995 with seed money from the MacArthur Foundation and currently funded by the United States Government and private foundations, TraCCC seeks "to better understand the causes and scope of transnational crime and corruption and to propose well-grounded policy to reduce and eliminate these problems."
Transparency International Transparency International works to curb corruption by mobilizing a global coalition of stakeholders in the integrity of national and international governance, including most importantly the institutions of civil society and the private sector. TI's Web site includes its annual Corruption Perceptions Index, which is a "poll of polls" measuring the public's view of the extent of corruption in their own country.  The Web site also includes the TI Source Book, which is a collection of best practices from around the world in the effort to combat corruption.
