DC is at the top of the classification of public corruption in the analysis of New Cato Institute Cato

A new analysis of the reflection groups reveals that public corruption is an important problem in the United States and is the most widespread in the governments of states and premises that have larger bureaucracies and higher regulations.

The Libertarian Cato Institute said he had analyzed Data from the Ministry of Justice on public corruption convictions in the country’s 94 federal judicial districts and measured the average annual number of convictions per 100,000 inhabitants during the period 2004-2023.

“The data show that some of the most corrupt places in this measure correspond to their reputation,” wrote the authors of Cato analysis.

Washington, DC, exceeded the classification with 469 total convictions during the period of almost 20 years and an annual conviction of 3.49, according to the Cato report.

“It has a large number of legislative and executive employees, and there are many transplant possibilities,” said the report.

The Oriental District of Louisiana, which includes New Orleans, ranks at number four on the list of Cato with 430 total convictions during this period and an annual conviction of 1.29.

“New Orleans has long been sadly famous for the corruption of states and local,” said the report.

The reflection group noted, however, that certain university studies have suggested other reasons for the differences in corruption between states and cities, including variable cultures, levels of education and poverty rates.
