ABSTRACT
The effort of prosecutors to reduce corruption nationwide is part of a
twentieth century paradigm that is being replaced by a new perspective on
public integrity. The organizational context of this traditional response to
corruption-including prosecution-provides an explanation for an effort
that has not reduced corruption substantially, but has had a deleterious
effect on the quality of public goods and services. Organizational factors,
including the influence of bureaucratic structure and professionalized public
integrity, will be put forward in this article to explain the intensity of the
twentieth century paradigm, the perceived need to sustain the paradigm over
a long period of time, and its influence on public administration.
