Of course, the reality of Canada in the recent paper above is somehow different from the one in USA which may be strongly related to poverty Be there as it may it is very positive to see how academia is
paying more attention to crime subjects https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2019/10/academia-vanitas-gravitas-and-organized.html
The problem is that Scopus returns 244178 documents
with "crime" or "criminal" in the title, abstract or
key-words but only 1.6% of those concerned publications are related
to corruption which is a crucial problem. According to the United Nations, "Every
year $1 trillion is paid in bribes while an estimated $2.6 trillion are stolen
annually through corruption – a sum equivalent to more than 5 per cent of the
global GDP. In developing countries...funds lost to corruption are estimated at 10 times the
amount of official development assistance" https://www.un.org/en/observances/anti-corruption-day
P.S - Europe is not doing a great job in what concerns fighting corruption either https://pacheco-torgal.blogspot.com/2020/07/phd-thesisuniv-of-london-establishing.html
