Kurakin, A.V. Social and legal characteristics of corruption in the sphere of state service

Abstract: This article is devoted to the social aspect of corruption within the system of state service. Corruption is a social matter, so studies of its social aspects are quite objectively necessary. Without the definition of the social aspect of corruption it is quite hard to provide administrative legal means for fighting corruption within the system of state service. The sociological studies clearly show that a large number of people have positive attitudes to various forms of corruption in the sphere of state service. This aspect should be taken into account, when defining the administrative legal means of fighting and preventing corruption in the sphere of state service.
