Abstract

The institutionalization of corruption as a form of socio-criminal activity in contemporary societies has emerged as a pressing concern for policymakers, scholars, and the public at large. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the complex interplay between institutional structures, social norms, and criminal behaviour, shedding light on the intricate mechanisms through which corruption becomes deeply entrenched within the fabric of modern societies. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives from sociology, criminology, political science, and economics, this study examines the ways in which corrupt practices permeate diverse sectors, undermining the rule of law, eroding public trust, and perpetuating inequalities. Moreover, it delves into the systemic factors that facilitate the normalization of corruption, including weak regulatory frameworks, opaque decision-making processes, and the collusion of powerful actors. By elucidating the interconnected nature of institutionalized corruption, this paper aims to contribute to a nuanced understanding of its far-reaching implications and to offer insights into potential strategies for combating this pervasive socio-criminal phenomenon.
