Political scientists typically define corruption as the use or misuse of public office for either public or private gain. In your Unit 3 Discussion Board, one element you discussed was the potential for corruption with special interest groups.

Corruption and the perception of corruption often lead to apathy and dissatisfaction among the citizens.
