December 9, 2023, was the International Anti-Corruption Day. The study of the phenomenon of corruption and the methods to counteract it constitute an integral part of the research efforts that members of the Corporate Crime Observatory (CCO) consistently undertake.
For this reason, the CCO is pleased to share with its readers a non-exhaustive list of publications and events that have involved the members of the observatory in a cooperative effort aimed at studying the dynamics of corruption and the potential responses that can be given to mitigate its negative effects on society.
