unable to fully comprehend the multifarious aspects that it
exhibits in its numerous forms, diverse causes and adverse impact.
It is also difficult to measure or quantify corruption, and
consequently more complicated to curtail it. Practically, even
defining corruption has proven to be an unattainable task, and
there is still no single, comprehensive and a universally agreed

that corruption is a crime, which devastates the very thread of the
society. This study takes an overview of corruption in general as
expounded by various studies as also some aspects of corruption in
Pakistan. We have measured perception of corruption using a
Split-Questionnaire Survey (SQS) design and have ranked various
government departments in Pakistan according to their level of
corruption. The theoretical basis of the SQS Design is explained
for its applicability to large sociological and marketing surveys.
