About this title

Synopsis

Arguing that police worldwide are powerless to prevent major scandals from occuring, this publication illustrates the effects of pay-offs and backhanders on democracy. It questions the morality of major companies where the kickback is an accepted method of clinching a deal. The author asks why so few people are, in his opinion, prepared to stop the worst excesses. He analyzes why police forces and governments do not have the capacity to tackle corruption and suggests that governments lack the will to act.

From the Publisher

The Rotten Core of Government and Big Business
Sleaze and corruption are tainting politics and trade across the globe – there are major scandals in almost every country and police are powerless to prevent it.

The author, an Oxford University educated police detective, analyses why police forces and governments lack the capacity to tackle corruption; his disturbing conclusion is that those in power lack the will to stop the rot. With cases and instances from all parts of the world, Power and Corruption is a concise overview of this global problem.

Store Description

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
