Objective and subjective data on corruption regarding the U.S.A

Posted by Kihong Eom at January 05. 2011

 Hello.  I am trying to find political corruption data for the U.S.A. For objective data, I found some relevant objective data in the Bureau of Justice, but they  include all of public sector corruptions.  Data I am looking for are  corruption convictions and indictments for elected officials. 

More problem is that I could not pinpoint subjective corruption data, which are scattered.  World value survey are alleged to have some questions on subjective judgment on  corruption for elected officials, but I could not find the questions. 

Could you help me with these two questions?

Thank you in advance.

Dear Kihong,

You may have already find an answer to your question. Anyway, indeed, you can find information regarding corruption on the World Value Surveys question E196.

I also suggest you have a look at the Gallup World Polls that provide 2 questions regarding populations' perception of corruption. (Population experiment with bribe situations and population feeling about corruption in their Government)

I am currently working on experts' vs. population's perceptions of corruption, maybe you'll find some interest in this paper :

Best Regards,

Thomas
