Controlling Cyber Corruption : an Administrative Ethics

This research focuses on the reality of new serious corruption phenomena called cyber corruption. Unlike previous research, which mainly focuses on the corruption phenomena in the visible social world in the process of social change, cyber corruption is new corruption phenomena, which have been created in the process of radical scientific and technological development by computerizing information in the 21st century. The paper discusses the conceptualization of cyber corruption, compared with computer crime in terms of comparative perspective. The author proposes that cyber corruption is a broad concept that extends the notion of ordinary computer crime. The characteristics of cyber corruption include anonymity, speciality, unlimitation of time and space, rapid propagation, unlimited damage of property, unfaced communication, and unfeeling of sin regarding the matter. As for the analysis of existing cyber corruption phenomena, major efforts have been made to identify general patterns and various typologies of the cyber space. The author suggests several ways to effectively measure and control cyber corruption phenomena, especially in terms of administrative ethics.
