Anticorruption reforms provide excellent political cover for public
officials, but do they really reduce corruption? And do the
benefits outweigh the costs? In this comprehensive and
controversial case study of anticorruption efforts, Frank
Anechiarico and James B. Jacobs show how the proliferating
regulations and oversight mechanisms designed to prevent or root
out corruption seriously undermine our ability to govern. Using
anticorruption efforts in New York City to illustrate their
argument, Anechiarico and Jacobs demonstrate the costly
inefficiencies of pursuing absolute integrity. By proliferating
dysfunctions, constraining decision makers' discretion, shaping
priorities, and causing delays, corruption control - no less than
corruption itself - has contributed to the contemporary crisis in
public administration. This book begins a new and vital discourse
on how to free public administration from burdensome corruption
controls without sacrificing government integrity. It will interest
scholars in political science, sociology, public administration,
policy studies, and criminology.
