英文文献：Crime and conflicts in Africa: consequences of corruption?-非洲的犯罪与冲突:腐败的后果?
英文文献作者：Asongu Simplice,Oasis Kodila-Tedika
英文文献摘要：
With earthshaking and jaw-breaking levels of corruption in the African continent, the question on the extent to which corruption influences crime still remains unanswered. This paper assesses the effect of corruption (corruption-control) in 38 African countries using updated data. We find that, crime is highly positively (negatively) correlated with corruption (corruption-control). The potential mitigation effect (by corruption-control) is higher than the corresponding positive effect of corruption, implying, corruption-control offsets crime emanating beyond the corruption mechanism (inter alia, other poor governance mechanisms). The relationship is statistically strong when controlling for the number of police officers, age dependency, per capital economic prosperity, level of education, government effectiveness and population density. Given that crime is proxied by the level of organized internal conflict, the findings also sustain the substantial role of corruption in the birth and propagation of conflicts within and across Africa. Policy implications are discussed.
非洲大陆的腐败程度令人震惊，令人瞠目结舌，腐败对犯罪的影响程度问题仍然没有答案。本文利用最新数据评估了38个非洲国家的腐败(腐败控制)影响。我们发现，犯罪与腐败(腐败控制)高度正(负)相关。(通过腐败控制)的潜在缓解效果高于腐败的相应积极效果，这意味着腐败控制可以抵消腐败机制以外产生的犯罪(特别是其他不良治理机制)。在控制了警察人数、年龄依赖性、人均经济繁荣程度、教育水平、政府效率和人口密度之后，这种关系在统计上是强有力的。考虑到犯罪是由内部有组织冲突的程度所促成的，研究结果也支持了腐败在非洲内部和整个非洲冲突的产生和传播中发挥的重要作用。讨论了政策含义。
