Abstract
Abstract Newspapers across the world routinely report on corrupt police officers, and some of the stories describe convictions for their behavior. Yet, few legal statutes explicitly define and recognize certain behaviors as corrupt. The corruption-related crimes enumerated in newspaper accounts for which police officers could be convicted include the more typical ones, such as bribery and extortion, and more unusual ones, such as robbery and theft. Could these diverse violations fit under the umbrella of a single form of police misconduct, namely police corruption? What are the important aspects of the definition that would make it applicable to the same corrupt behavior across a broad range of police departments both in the United States and abroad?
