This paper seeks to identify the major effects of corrupt acts on the criminal justice system, police relations with the public and the organisational culture of the police. It emphasises the social harm that corrupt acts result in. The primary purpose of this discussion is to combat the view of police corruption as "victimless." It seeks to bring to the attention of the reader the very damaging effects of corrupt acts and to point out that such acts not only have indirect consequences, but often identifiable victims.

This report examines the way ordinary people – Germans after 1945 and South Africans after 1994-  deal with an authoritarian past. The report considers how the past is perceived; to what extent people accept the new political order and its democratic values; and how they react to institutions such as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which try to deal with and uncover the legacies of the past. Previously published survey data from Germany and South Africa is reviewed and new empirical findings are presented from a nation-wide telephone survey of 124 white South Africans.
