Abstract
AbstractCorruption is a growing global epidemic. Our understanding of its causes islimited. Combining data from several sources, the current article tests thevalidity of social support theory in explaining corruption in an integratedstructural model. The findings support our theoretical speculation: our socialsupport measure is a strong predictor of corruption in the model. In addition,undemocratic governments with inadequate checks and balances indirectlycontribute to the high level of corruption in a nation. Democracy promotes humandevelopment and bolsters social support for citizens' wellbeing, both of whichreduce the level of corruption in a nation. Inequality fosters corruptionindirectly through reduced human development and reduced social support. Weconclude that criminologists need not await the determinations of internationallegal systems to study scathing behavior, such as corruption.
