A recent survey by the Bangladesh Unnayan Parishad shows that 95 percent of respondents believed that the police were the most corrupt department in the land, followed very closely by the customs. A solid 62 percent of respondents believed that the primary responsibility for corruption in Bangladesh lay in the hands of government officials.
Does this mean that the people of Bangladesh are unmoved by the all-pervasive level of corruption in their polity? Or have they become so immune to its horrors, so cynical about what they perceive to be the unhappy reality of their lives, that they have ceased to care? Whatever the reasons, people appear extremely unwilling to believe that anything can be done about corruption.
Perhaps this is one reason for a marked absence of objective, analytical literature on corruption as a social exchange or process. There are, of course, other reasons. But generally
