Abstract

Criminal　corruption　refers　to　instances　in　which　employees　of　the　government,　private　companies　or　other　work　units　take　advantage　of　their　position　to　embezzle　funds　or　accept　bribes.　The　state　of　criminal　corruption　can　be　assessed　both　objectively　and　subjectively;　both　methods　exhibit　insufficient　accuracy　in　some　respects.　Presently,　criminal　corruption　is　a　severe　problem　in　China,　having　become　both　systemic　and　socially　ingrained.　Causes　of　corruption　can　be　traced　back　to　human　nature　and　instincts,　social　practices,　and　the　general　operation　of　the　systems　in　question.　A　clear　understanding　of　these　causes　can　provide　us　with　a　method　for　developing　countermeasures.

Keywords:　Corruption,　crime,　assessment,　cause
