AB - Corruption is a structural problem that cannot be reduced simply by ethical deviations of public officials or administrative inefficiencies. Particularly in the context of developing countries, corruption erodes the country's law enforcement capabilities and institutional trust, and rather forms an institutionally protected environment where crimes are not contained. Under these conditions, certain areas are converted into crime enclaves where crimes are accumulated, organized, and reproduced beyond the space where crimes temporarily occur.
Cambodia is one of the countries where this phenomenon is most evident. According to the International Corruption Perception Index(CPI) released by Transparency International, Cambodia has consistently ranked at the bottom over the past decade. This suggests that corruption is structured across the public sector, making it difficult to explain the failure of crime control as a temporary problem. With this awareness of the problem, this study analyzes how the corruption structure in Cambodia forms and maintains a specific criminal complex called Wench.
