This is the first of four chapters that examine ways to prevent corruption in specific settings. Criminal justice provides a good starting point because of the long history of varied and destructive forms of abuse of due process rights and responsibilities in this sector. Corruption has, and still does occur in the judiciary, as well as police and corrective services, in many locations. Examples are provided of how situational prevention principles can be used to eliminate or minimize corruption opportunities. These include the electronic recording of interviews with suspects, video surveillance of police actions, limits on pre-charge detention and entry/exit controls for prison custodial staff.
