Dispositional awe negatively predicts corruption via the sense of connectedness.

Corruption is a political and economic issue that has a detrimental impact on social and economic development. This study investigated the predictive effect of dispositional awe on corruption, and the underlying mechanisms from the perspective of connectedness. A sample of 548 (Nfemale = 371) individuals, aged between 16 and 71 years old (M = 21.18, SD = 3.39), was collected. Participants completed scales to measure dispositional awe, the sense of connectedness, corruption, and social desirability. Structural equation modelling and a bootstrap procedure were used to analyze the relationship between the variables. Results showed that dispositional awe negatively predicted corruption, including the tendencies for giving and accepting bribes, and this could be explained by the sense of connectedness, after controlling for the effect of social desirability. The findings highlight the significance of dispositional awe in relation to corruption, enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms connecting the two variables, and provide practical implications for the prevention of corruption.

Analysis of Developing Anti-Corruption Education in Indonesia Through Media-Based Citizenship Education Learning Smart Mobile Civic

The purpose of this study is to analyze the development of anti-corruption education in Indonesia, through learning Citizenship Education based on Smart Mobile Civic media. Efforts to eradicate corruption are not only the responsibility of law enforcement agencies or the government, but also the responsibility of all components of the nation. Therefore, efforts to eradicate corruption must be carried out by involving all relevant stakeholders, namely the government, the private sector and the community. This research method uses a qualitative approach. The use of qualitative methods in research can produce a more comprehensive study of a phenomenon. The results of the study show that: Citizenship Education learning system has a very strategic role, to increase students' understanding of anti-corruption education. In this context of research, the students, as agents of corruption prevention, cannot be separated from the characteristics they possess, such as: Intellectuality, Youth Spirit, and Idealism. Student involvement in the anti-corruption movement can basically be divided into four areas: within the family, on campus, in the local community, and at the regional or national level. The digital era has had a tremendous impact on citizenship learning, such as through the application of Smart Mobile Civic media as a fun and not boring learning media for students so that they can explore more deeply about their knowledge and experiences.

Government Policy in the National Strategy for Prevent and Eradicate Corruption in State Islamic Religious Universities

This research focuses on self-reconstruction in corruption prevention policies at State Islamic Religious Universities (PTKIN). The problem of this research is how self-reconstruction becomes a solution in corruption prevention policies to achieve justice and social welfare at PTKIN. This research proposes a self-reconstruction mechanism to prevent corruption and execute justice and social welfare at PTKIN. This research design uses a qualitative approach with case studies as the primary method. The research locations are UIN Sunan Kalijaga, UIN Syarifhidayatullah, and UIN North Sumatra Medan. The theory used in this research is the theory of self according to the Eastern/Islamic view and the theory of self according to the West, as well as the basic understanding of corruption. This study resulted in the formulation of a self-reconstruction mechanism at PTKIN in preventing corruption, namely the process of self-improvement to avoid the factors that cause corruption starting from good initial intentions, improving moral morals and then self-consistency in work. Self-reconstruction is one of the solutions to preventing corruption in PTKIN. The solution to avoid corrupt behaviour in PTKIN must involve all elements, rectors, deans, lecturers, or other components. This research provides concrete evidence about the effectiveness of the self-reconstruction mechanism in preventing corruption at PTKIN, this is a valuable finding and can be a significant contribution to the literature and practice of preventing corruption in the academic environment.

Dimensions of the constitution

The article is devoted to the conceptualization of the dimensions of the constitution as an important direction of modern political and legal research. It was noted that the category “dimension” combines the objective determination of the influence of the constitution on the course of social relations with its utilitarian value.
 Given the complexity and multidimensionality of society, it can be argued that there can be many dimensions of the constitution. However, it is known that the constitution to one degree or another regulates (consolidates) all four subsystems of the social system: political, economic, social, and spiritual and cultural. Therefore, the most general, system-creating dimensions of the constitution can be only four - according to the number of subsystems of the social system. All of them can be covered by the term “general or general social dimensions”.
 The author claims that from a legal point of view, we should be primarily interested in those “internal” dimensions of the constitution that characterize the significance of the constitution for the state mechanism and the national legal system. They, again conditionally, can be called “special” or “legal”. The relevant criteria should be sufficiently universal and significant, capable of being applied to states of different levels of development and different historical eras. At the same time, it should be understood that the constitution is only a legal instrument, so it can neither be blamed for a bad political choice nor praised for a good one.
 In the broadest plan, five main legal criteria for the success of the constitution are proposed – these are its endurance (permanence), legitimacy, the ability to resolve political conflicts in a legal way, the ability to limit agency costs, as well as to promote the production of public goods.
 The opinion that according to the vast majority of the dimensions listed above, the current Constitution of Ukraine of 1996 demonstrates quite high results, being an example of a modern and effective Basic Law, is justified. The main problem facing the national Constitution in this regard is the problem of limiting the so-called “agency costs”, especially in the area of corruption prevention.

Socio-legal conditioning of the differentiation of criminal responsibility for corruption offenses

The article states that it is advisable to consider the problem of social and legal validity of differentiation of criminal responsibility for corruption criminal offenses in two planes: external and internal.
 In order to establish very specific restrictions on the use of incentive criminal law measures against persons who have committed corruption criminal offenses, the legislator needed an appropriate tool: the definition of the concept of corruption criminal offense subsequently. This is due to the separation in the General part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine of a group of corruption criminal offenses and the legal consequences of their commission, which constitutes, conditionally speaking, an “external” differentiation of criminal liability. There are also legal reasons for the “external” differentiation of criminal responsibility for a corruption criminal offense, since the concept of “corruption offense” is defined in the Law of Ukraine on Prevention of Corruption (Part 1, Article 1), and corruption crimes are generally conventional and have a relatively autonomous existence determined by the provisions of international law, those documents ratified by Ukraine.
 The first step of the “internal” differentiation of criminal liability for corruption criminal offenses is determined by legal factors - the definition of the concept of “corruption” in the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention of Corruption”. The next step of “internal” differentiation is to take into account the types of special subjects of corruption criminal offenses and those spheres of social relations in which they participate and may abuse their powers or receive undue benefits. The reasons for such a differentiation seem to lie in the differences in the relations in which the above-mentioned special subjects are participants. The legislator, differentiating responsibility taking into account these spheres, firstly, determines the place of the article on the corruption criminal offense in the structure of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and secondly, taking into account the importance of the relevant relations, constructs independent sanctions of criminal law norms.

Understanding with a Practical Perspective the Corruption Mode of Goods/Services Procurement in Indonesian Public Organizations

This research aims to clarify the study of corruption in public procurement in public organizations in Indonesia, which when studied through the dimensions of anthropology and democracy is considered too broad in scope and cannot touch the main substance in the discussion of corruption that is specific to public organizations. Corruption in public procurement management in Indonesia is still seen as part of unethical behavior and from a rational perspective is also seen as deviant behavior. The factors for the formation of unethical behavior and categorized as deviant behavior are due to, among others, the structural pressure factors of individuals in public organizations and the intervention factors of parties ranging from vendors, state administrators, and state officials in providing "lure" in the form of gifts or rewards for state administrators and state officials to abuse authority. The results of the study successfully identified modes of corruption in the procurement of goods/services based on the stages and perpetrators of corruption. Corruption in particular in Indonesia is also caused by the weak supervision and management system for preventing corruption in Indonesia. The design of an appropriate and credible public procurement method is one of the solutions to reduce the risk of corruption that begins with the public procurement process. The e-Purchasing method with the e-Cataloque mechanism without negotiations with vendors as a concrete manifestation of the selection of goods/services procurement methods is considered to be very supportive of corruption prevention efforts in Indonesia, because it can directly limit corrupt behavior in public organizations. The novelty, in this study, is to provide recommendations for improvement in the form of a recommendation system design for government procurement of goods/services that is more directed at prioritizing the use of the e-Purchasing method with the e-Cataloque mechanism to reduce the risk of corruption in government spending.

Responsibility of the Inspectorate for the Prevention and Handling of Corruption Cases in the Region or Ministry: (Reviewed in accordance with Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the Eradication of Corruption)

This research aims to determine the role of the Inspectorate in carrying out internal oversight as an effort to detect potential corruption at the regional level. Rampant corruption at various levels of local government necessitates an active role from internal oversight institutions such as the Inspectorate. The Inspectorate serves as the frontline in preventing corruption at the local level. Consistent and effective anti-corruption efforts by the Inspectorate can positively contribute to creating a government that is clean, accountable, and serves with integrity for the welfare of the community. The role of the Inspectorate in preventing corruption at the local level is crucial in ensuring the establishment of a clean, transparent, and integrity-driven governance. As an internal oversight institution at the local level, the Inspectorate plays several strategic roles that contribute to anti-corruption efforts. This research aims to analyze the methods and strategies employed by the Inspectorate in monitoring and identifying potential corrupt practices, as well as to analyze the impact of internal oversight effectiveness on corruption prevention at the regional level. The research methodology involves documentation analysis, interviews with Inspectorate officials, and surveys of opinions from relevant stakeholders. The results of this research are expected to provide a better understanding of the Inspectorate's role in combating corruption at the local level and offer recommendations for improvements in internal oversight implementation.

Individual and Contextual Factors Associated With the Prevention of Corruption: A Qualitative Study Among Iranian Public Employees

Background: Little research has been done to identify the individual‐level factors contributing to the prevention of administrative corruption. Specifically, Iranian public employees are an understudied population in terms of individual and contextual factors that contribute to the prevention of administrative corruption. This study aimed to identify the perception of public servants about the psychosocial factors that facilitate the prevention of corruption.Method: Data were collected using semistructured interviews with 14 individuals working in public sector departments or agencies in Tehran.Results: Six main themes emerged from the data: cognitive characteristics (including “detachment‐promoting thoughts and beliefs” and “consequence‐focused thoughts and beliefs”), emotional patterns (including “deterrent negative emotions” and “deterrent positive emotions”), personality characteristics (including “self‐oriented conservative personality traits” and “other‐oriented prosocial personality traits”), behavioral strategies (including “need‐fulfillment strategies” and “self‐care strategies”), familial background (including “growing up in a rule‐oriented and value‐oriented family” and “living with an honest and supportive spouse”), and organizational context (including “employee monitoring” and “rule‐based and ethical space of the organization”).Conclusion: The study reveals some psychological and contextual factors that could be involved in preventing administrative corruption in Iran. These factors can be taken into consideration when designing preventive measures and policies aimed at reducing corrupt behaviors in public agents and promoting ethics in public service.

ПУБЛІЧНЕ УПРАВЛІННЯ:СТАНОВЛЕННЯ ТА РОЗВИТОК В УКРАЇНІ

The article examines the concepts of "management", "public", "public management" through the prism of their characteristics, as well as the process of establishment and development of public management in Ukraine. An important place in such management is occupied by government and politics. The representation of the interests of various groups of persons is transformed into the representation of public interests. The people delegate authority to the state to regulate processes in various spheres of life. This is how management activity is formed, which scales with the development of social relations, acquires new features and becomes a specialized activity. The acquisition of independence by Ukraine was an important impetus for the birth and development of public administration on the territory of our state. 1991 was a turning point for the entire nation and for each of us in particular. The institution of the state acquires a new meaning. Attempts and failures, contradictions and reforms - the path to the new is not easy, but persistent and destined for success. Civil service is an extremely important area in the establishment and development of public management activity. Proper personnel training, organizational and legal foundations in work have become a strategic vector for the development of public management. The Laws of Ukraine "On Civil Service", "On Prevention of Corruption" defined the principles, legal and organizational principles of ensuring a public, professional, politically impartial, effective, citizen-oriented public service that functions in the interests of the state and society, and the functioning of the corruption prevention system in Ukraine , the content and procedure for applying preventive anti-corruption mechanisms, rules for eliminating the consequences of corruption offenses.

Противодействие идеологии потребительства в системе антикоррупционных мер как функция государственной власти

The object of the study is corruption in the sphere of state power. The subject of the study is the role of the ideology of consumerism in the corrupt activities of representatives of the state authorities and the main directions of countering this ideology as a function of state power. Corruption in the sphere of higher authorities is considered as the main type of corruption. The study is based on the differentiation of two directions in the system of preventive anti-corruption measures: 1) intimidation by criminal punishment of persons capable of committing corruption crimes; 2) formation of a negative attitude towards corruption in society, education of people who are not capable of corrupt behavior. In the context of the second direction, the analysis of the ideology of consumerism as a subjective cause of corruption in the sphere of state power is presented. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the policy of countering the ideology of consumerism in the system of anti-corruption measures as a necessary function of state power. Research objectives are as follows: to clarify the concept of corruption in the sphere of state power and its features; to identify the normative and regulatory function of the ideology of consumerism in the corrupt activities of government officials; to identify the main directions of countering the ideology of consumerism in the anti-corruption policy of the state. The study has yielded the following results. The direct subjective cause of corruption in the sphere of state power is the ideology of consumerism, which causes a consumer race and excessive consumption among highly paid representatives of state power. The prevention of corruption in this area implies the need to combat this ideology. The main directions of the state policy of countering the ideology of consumerism are state control over the activities of the media in order to limit the propaganda of consumerism; the revival of the institute of state ideology, namely, the ideology of humanism and patriotism; the introduction of an ideological component in state educational programs, including a critical discussion of the ideology of consumerism. From these research results, it follows that there is a need for a policy of countering the ideology of consumerism in the system of anti-corruption measures as a function of state power.

Public Procurement Rules and the Prevention of Corruption

The article points out the difficulties of defining the phenomenon of corruption, the main risks of public procurement related to the occurrence of corrupt behaviour, and the role of the proper application of public procurement rules as tools for the prevention of corruption. This is because these principles are a guide for the contracting authority on how to take certain actions during the procedure, and which ones to avoid in order to ensure that the public procurement procedure is carried out in a lawful manner and that public funds are spent in an efficient and reasonable manner. Where discretionary slack exists, this is an indicator of the proper use of the discretion left to the contracting authority. The risk of corruption in public procurement is mainly due to the fact that significant public funds are spent in the course of public procurement, and the risk of bribery or collusion in tendering exists, regardless of the stage of the procedure.

КОМУНІКАЦІЙНІ СТРАТЕГІЇ В ПУБЛІЧНОМУ УПРАВЛІННІ ТА АДМІНІСТРУВАННІ: УКРАЇНСЬКИЙ КОНТЕКСТ

The article is devoted to the study of communication strategies in public management and administration in modern Ukraine. The concept of "communication strategies" is revealed, their main components and principles of formation are considered. It is noted that the communication strategies of state management and administration bodies contribute to the effectiveness of communication between power structures and society, trust in the authorities, and the consolidation of society. It is proven that public management and administration is a communication process, as it containstypical components of a communicative act. The communication strategies of the state administration reform of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, "Communications strategy in the field of prevention and counteraction of corruption", "Communication strategy on European integration of Ukraine" etc. were analyzed. It was concluded that communication is one of the most important tools for ensuring effective state policy. It is noted that the basis of the communication strategies of public management and administration created in Ukraine are the principles on which the communication policy of the EU is based. Despite the general principles of creating communication strategies and the presence of basic elements, each public management and administration body when creating a communication strategy takes into account its own specificity, values and sphere of interests, and therefore notes its mission, main strategic tasks, analyzes the target audience and selects those resources that will help in the implementation of such a strategy. Attention is also paid to the types of communication strategies described in the scientific literature. A communication strategy can be a presentational, identification, competitive and trust strategy. It is concluded that "pure" types of communication strategies can be singled out as a theoretical concept.

Антикорупційний аудит: визначення, інваріантність підходів та форсайт розвитку

The aim of the article is to define the concept of anti-corruption audit, taking into account the invariance of the approaches of different scholars, and to present a forecast for its further development. Ukraine is confidently moving in the European integration direction, so the issue of economic security of our country is crucial, and it is the anti-corruption audit that contributes to the identification, prevention and elimination of corruption risks and practices, verification of compliance with the requirements of national and international legislation in the field of prevention of corruption, and the formation of a culture of rejection of corruption. The article substantiates the need to introduce a single, generally accepted definition of this concept and the introduction of anti-corruption audit in all areas of business and at all levels in government agencies, which will create obstacles to bribery and fraudulent actions of business or government representatives and will help significantly reduce the level of corruption in our country. Thus, it will contribute to the improvement of the investment climate, increase the confidence of foreign investors and the level of economic security of the country. The necessity of introducing additional opportunities to combat corruption, a system of control measures to counter corruption, and the implementation of audit procedures to assess the corruption risks of business processes is also substantiated. The authors emphasize that, despite the fairly wide application of this concept in the business environment and in the public sector, there is no single definition of the concept of «anti-corruption audit», as well as an understanding of the peculiarities of the methodology of its implementation. As a result of the study, an analysis of the existing definitions, their comparison and generalization has been carried out, and the introduction of an improved unified definition of the concept of «anti-corruption audit» has been proposed. It is proved that a systematic increase in the level of public consciousness, ensuring transparency and simplification of business procedures, increasing the efficiency of economic mechanisms of State supervision, control over entrepreneurial activity and the introduction of mandatory anti-corruption audit of companies will allow the country to significantly reduce corruption and minimize the shadow economy in our country.

ПОРІВНЯЛЬНИЙ АНАЛІЗ АНТИКОРУПЦІЙНОГО ЗАКОНОДАВСТВА УКРАЇНИ ТА КРАЇН ЄС: ІМПЛЕМЕНТАЦІЯ ТА АДАПТАЦІЯ КРАЩИХ ПРАКТИК

The article provides a comparative analysis of the anti-corruption legislation of Ukraine and thecountries of the European Union in order to determine the best practices and the possibilities of their implementation in the Ukrainian legal system. The main anti-corruption mechanisms, including legislation, institutional structure and practical measures appliedin Poland, Romania and Germany, are considered. The main provisions of the Ukrainian anti-corruption legislation are analyzed, in particular the role and functions of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU), the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NACP) and the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court (SAC). The main achievements and problems in the functioning of anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine have been identified. Special attention is paid to the comparison of the institutional structure, transparency and accountability of anti-corruption mechanisms, as well as the legislative framework of Ukraine and EU countries. The key challenges and prospects for the implementation of European practices in Ukraine are identified, including issues of political will, institutional capacity, and public support. Based on the analysis, recommendations were developed for improving Ukrainian anti-corruption legislation, strengthening the independence of anti-corruption bodies, and involving civil society in the fight against corruption. The article also contains suggestions for further research in this area.

The Rules of Conflict-of-Interest Management for Public Officials under the “British Model”: A Content Analysis Based on 19 Codes of Ethics

Abstract The United Kingdom is one of the countries globally known for its high level of integrity and has essentially developed a relatively comprehensive mechanism for preventing and addressing corruption. Effective management of conflicts of interest among public officials is a crucial aspect of corruption prevention in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom emphasizes establishing a system of ethical norms that encompasses standards for public life more than other nations. By constructing a two-dimensional analysis framework for conflict-of-interest management tools and categories of public officials and utilizing the NVivo14 text analysis tool, we conducted a content analysis of the relevant portions in the British Code of Ethics text concerning managing conflicts of interest among public officials. The study revealed that conflict-of-interest management rules demonstrate a high degree of transparency orientation. The focus is on teaching public officials how to effectively handle conflicts of interest, not just prohibiting or dispossessing them of their private interests. The coordinated use of various management tools tailored to different conflict-of-interest scenarios results in effectively managing conflicts of interest among public officials.

우리나라 부패방지정책의 최근 동향과 주요 이슈에 관한 제언

In order to implement the constitutional spirit of the just society ideology, our society has made policy, legislative, and judicial efforts to prevent corruption. Anti-corruption policies have been promoted with interest in public officials and the public sector, where integrity and transparency have traditionally been emphasized. Recently, due to the severity of corruption in the private sector, the need for anti-corruption measures is increasing not only in the national sector but also in all national and social sectors, including the private sector. Corruption in the public sector has been subject to control under the Criminal Act, but the limitations of the Criminal Act, the Public Official Ethics Act, and the Code of Conduct for Public Officials have been pointed out in terms of effectiveness in terms of the scope of application of the laws, and for comprehensive anti-corruption measures, The Corruption Prevention and Civil Rights Commission Act was enacted. Since then, there has been legislative development, with corruption in the public sector being controlled by the Anti-Graft Act and the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act. As it was pointed out that there is no possibility of recognizing corruption in the private sector in advance unless it is through public interest reporting, the need to promote public interest reporting and the issue of protection for public interest reporters became issues. The Corruption Prevention and Civil Rights Commission Act limits the subject of reporting to corrupt acts by public officials, so in the case of public interest reporting in the private sector, the lack of protection provisions for public interest reporters was pointed out as a problem. In order to respond to these problems, the Public Interest Reporter Protection Act was enacted. Although the Improper Solicitation and Interest Act, the Anti-Graft Act, the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act, and the Public Interest Reporter Protection Act cannot be said to be complete, they are constantly evolving for a society of integrity. In addition to anti-corruption legislation, in order to prevent social corruption occurring not only in the public sector but also in the private sector, the functional control mechanism of corruption control agencies based on the Constitution and laws must be properly operated. The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission must play its role as a control tower for anti-corruption and a clean society by creating an honest public service culture and improving areas vulnerable to corruption. The Board of Audit and Inspection, which was established as the highest audit agency and independent institution under the Constitution, must perform a strong corruption control role by overseeing the national inspection system and exercising the authority to supervise public officials. There is a need to understand the overlapping performance of criminal justice functions by the police, prosecutors, and the Corruption Investigation Office from a complementary perspective, rather than viewing them only from a check-and-confrontation perspective. The complementary competitive system of criminal justice functions is expected to function positively in controlling corruption by stimulating political neutrality and accountability. In order to bring about a positive synergistic effect in the criminal justice function, the Corruption Investigation Office must maintain political neutrality and secure independence in performing its duties.

국민권익위원회의 독립성과 정치적 중립성

In the summer of 2023, interest in independent administrative agencies such as the National Election Commission and the Board of Audit and Inspection, as well as legal agencies such as the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission and the Korea Communications Commission, was hotter than ever in Korea. The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission is an independent administrative agency under the Act on the Establishment and Operation of Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission Act) launched on February 29, 2008 by integrating three organizations: the National Complaint Handling Commission, the National Integrity Commission, and the Prime Minister's Administrative Appeals Commission. The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission requires fairness in its work because it not only has a quasi-judicial nature for the ruling function related to administrative trials, but also monitors and checks administrative power for grievance complaints and prevention of corruption. In addition, independence is required in that the relief function is carried out within the administration, which is an organization in the hierarchy, so it should not be pressured by higher institutions or other state agencies. When overcoming these inherent limitations and reviewing the status and functions of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, the most desirable form is the Anti- Corruption and Civil Rights Commission as an independent organization dedicated to corruption that is separated by function and focuses on the current anti-corruption function. In reality, however, whether the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission's independence is guaranteed is controversial. And most of these controversies are seen as inherent limitations stemming from the integration between institutions that cannot achieve functional integration. The reorganization of the government is to make conscious changes to the government's organizational structure. In such a government reorganization, various circumstances such as the purpose and procedure of the system, organization, operation, and complementarity should be comprehensively considered, and it should be designed as an appropriate organizational form for performing future-oriented tasks. I think the reorganization on the premise of this is the way to ensure the independence required by the institution.

The Legislative Function of the House of Representatives to Prevent and Eradicate of Corruption

<em><span lang="EN-US">The </span></em><span lang="EN-US">House of Representatives through its legislative function can renew or replace the existing Law on the eradication of corruption with a new Law on the prevention and eradication of corruption that is effective and radical in preventing and eradicating corruption. The establishment of laws to prevent and eradicate corruption is a mandate of the people that must be realized by the House of Representatives through the legislative function, in order to realize the welfare and intellectual life of the nation, while law enforcement officials are unable to prevent and eradicate corruption completely, due to the principle of legality and the mentality of law enforcement officials. Legally, preventing and eradicating corruption must have a legal basis that is made and stipulated by the House of Representatives together with the President. The establishment of the Law on the prevention and eradication of corruption must be able to ensnare the perpetrators (corruption) and cause a long-term deterrent effect and potential perpetrators (corruptors) who want to commit corruption crimes think long to commit corruption crimes (deterrent effect). If this legislative function is not used to form effective and radical corruption prevention and eradication laws, it will lead to public distrust of the House of Representatives. This can lead to an increase in the crime of corruption in the management of state finances.</span>
