Does corruption and its investigation by the police affect sustainable development goals?
Abstract
Corruption is a human action that can occur in any context in which a citizen may be involved and must be viewed from a broad, not a narrow, perspective, as it is often interrelated with other criminal activities. The existence of corruption detracts from state resources, poses a serious threat to political and social stability and undermines the credibility of the state in the eyes of citizens, as well as hindering the effectiveness of planned national strategies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, the police investigation of corruption and related crimes is essential for the state and for citizens, enabling secure and sustainable economic, environmental and social development, within the framework of the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda.
