Meet the victim: Police corruption, violence, and political mobilization

Abstract: Recent literature has analyzed the relationship between governmental corruption and political behavior, focusing on voting turnout (Stockemer, LaMontagne, & Scruggs, 2013). Fewer studies have examined the impact of corruption on nonelectoral political participation. This article fills this gap by examining how nonelectoral political participation is influenced by corruption within one of the most important institutions dealing with citizens' welfare and safety: the police.

“…Using data from Peru, Hunt (2007) finds that victims of crime and other adverse shocks are more likely to pay bribes to public officials, with the strongest effects found in relation to the police.
