Corruption is a threat to democracy, the rule of law, social equity and justice, erodes the principles of efficient administration, undermines the market economy and endangers the stability of state institutions. Therefore, the fight against this phenomenon must be carried out by the legally authorized authorities, with the support of civil society, without any obstruction, so that no one is perceived as being above the law. In this context, the prevention of acts and facts of corruption, by monitoring conflicts of interests and incompatibilities, as well as by controlling the assets acquired illegally, must be the support of any strategy in this field. Adopting adequate measures to prevent the "corruption" phenomenon requires knowing its real size, its complexity, the trigger mechanisms and the consequences produced. The complexity and the continued diversification of the forms of manifestation of this phenomenon, together with the tendencies of globalization, require the design and elaboration of appropriate strategies, which scientifically and systematically approach the criminogenic sources and the effects of the crime and offer the effective tools for social prevention and control. The phenomenon of "corruption" is generated by ideologies, norms, individuals and groups with antisocial behavior, institutions and organizations.
