- A research project undertaken over three and a half years, analysing the application of the criminal law to different forms of corrupt political wrongdoing. The major challenge was to bring together republican constitutional theories of accountability, a historical examination of the treatment of political misconduct by the criminal law, and an examination of the modern-day appropriateness of criminal law deterrence, as against other remedies for corruption such as ‘negation’. A new definition of corruption was also developed (personal as opposed to political) in the course of the argument.
