Crooked Cops
Impact of Crooked Cop Activity on the State
The power of the state to have a monopoly in the use of force is slowly being eroded by the rising cases of crooked cops. The police force is a state institution intended to oversee the protection of a country's citizenry. The force is the state's implementing arm where security and safety are enhanced. Crooked cops are seen to perpetuate the opposite allowing crime to reign through corruption. This convolutes an economy thereby eroding the states potential to exercise monopoly of power as well as to safe guard the security of the citizenry. This situation compromises a social contract made between the state and its citizenry thus leaving gaps for individuals to take the law for granted. Adversely the citizenry may result to taking matters concerning the law and their protection as their own responsibility or even switch to committee crime.

This substantially cripples the state effort to get support from the citizenry to facilitate cooperation towards growth and development of a country....

Key development stakeholders argue that a country desires reliable security as an infrastructure that will attract active participation in the development.

As noted, (Reuter, 1983) case study from New York also strongly suggests that substantial police corruption is a condition for large scale organized crime to develop. An effect of aggregate (perceived) corruption on homicide rates has been demonstrated by (Azfar & Gurgur, 2005) Corruption in the police is again the most likely mechanism. The police corruption - organized crime complex allows increased consumption of illegal services (as gambling and prostitution) and goods (drugs, poisoned liquors, blasphemous texts in Muslim countries etc.), and the size of the informal economy, with all its effects on effective taxation. A problem by exposing these as separate effects is that they are among the causes as well as the effects of police corruption.
