How do you define corruption?

Transparency International (TI) has chosen a clear and focused definition of the term: Corruption is operationally defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. TI further differentiates between "according to rule" corruption and "against the rule" corruption. Facilitation payments, where a bribe is paid to receive preferential treatment for something that the bribe receiver is required to do by law, constitute the former. The latter, on the other hand, is a bribe paid to obtain services the bribe receiver is prohibited from providing.

generally, corruption is the solicitation, receiving or agreeing to receive, giving, promising or offering any gratification as an inducement or reward to a person to do or forbear to do any act with a corrupt intention.

Transparency International (TI) has chosen a clear and focused definition of the term of corruption is operationally defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain.

Based on Consise Law Dictionary by P. G. Osborne defined corruption as bribery and corruption acts giving or offering any reward to any person to influence his conduct or the receipt of such reward.

Based on Mozley and Whiteleys Law Dictionary by John B. Saunders defined corruption are the taking or giving of money for the performance or non-performance of apublic duty.
