An Empirical Research on Corruption in China-From the Perspective of the Introduction of Objective Measurement

Empirical study is the prerequisite for effective combating and preventing of corruption. Objective measurement is the main way to study corruption in China, but is not reasonable nowadays. The survey data mainly comes from the judicial documents of a website-China Judgements Online. The study of this paper is not based on "the number of cases accepted" or "the number of people involved", but based on "the hidden time"," the amount" and "the frequency". The new objective measurement is based on the study of corruption, bribery and misappropriation of public funds. By the analysis of the six cities chosen, such as Shenyang and Guangzhou, it can be found that the corruption situation in Xi'an is the least serious, while the situation in Guangzhou is the worst. On the whole, the corruption situation of our society has improved in recent years.
